Negroni Sbagliato
Build vermouth and Campari with ice. Top with wine, stir, and garnish.
"Sbagliato" means "screwed up"--the idea being that the drink came to be when a bartender reached for a wine bottle instead of a gin bottle when making a Negroni.
- Great with Carpano Antica and prosecco — ★★★★
- Could lengthen with Topo Chico

- Probably the best aperitif of all time IMO. Even better than an Americano. Excellent with 1.5 oz sweet vermouth, 1.5 oz Campari, about 3 oz dry prosecco, and an expressed orange peel or orange wheel.
- Wonderful aperitivo. Not as sweet as mostly other options and has most things to love about a negroni but much lower alcohol.
- Punt e Mes is nice in this.
