Negroni Sbagliato

Campari and vermouth retain a Negroni-like bittersweet core, while sparkling wine replaces the gin component.

Campari bitterness and vermouth’s sweet botanical character are lengthened by a modest soda addition.

Aperol’s bittersweet orange character is lengthened with Prosecco and soda, with ice and carbonation integral to the serve.

Rye, sweet vermouth, Amer Picon and maraschino create this source’s version, which differs from dry-vermouth interpretations.

Apple brandy and orange juice share the base, with orange liqueur and bitters reinforcing the citrus character.

Dry vermouth makes this gin-and-Campari combination leaner than a sweet-vermouth Negroni, without removing its bitterness.

Sparkling wine carries bitters, sugar and a little Cognac; the dissolving cube can change sweetness over the serve.

Fernet’s assertive herbs and bitterness meet cola’s sweetness and carbonation in a deliberately bittersweet long serve.

Orange juice provides sweetness, acidity and texture around Campari’s bitterness; orange quality strongly affects the result.

Gin and sweet vermouth support a small but forceful Fernet contribution, producing a distinctly bitter herbal finish.
