A negroni is an Italian cocktail, made of one part gin, one part vermouth rosso and one part Campari. By extension, a negroni sbagliato is the same cocktail but with prosecco instead of gin.

The Italian cocktail has blown up in popularity thanks to a TikTok which featured a behind-the-scenes interview of House of the Dragon actors Emma D'Arcy and Olivia Cooke. Watch the video above.
"What's your drink of choice?" Cooke asks her co-star.
"Negroni... sbagliato...with prosecco in it," D'Arcy says.
"Oh stunning!" Cooke jokes – not knowing this short exchange would soon bring an old 80s cocktail back into fashion.
