Negroni Sbagliato

Recipe: Negroni Sbagliato

One man’s mistake leaves a great taste in the mouth eternally

Bar Basso was the first-ever bar in Milan to introduce the “aperitif” to everyday people. Traditionally cocktails could only be found in the exclusive lounge bars of luxurious international hotels, but since 1947 cocktails have been served shaken and stirred at this local neighbourhood bar.

The Negroni Sbagliato was invented here when the bartender accidentally substituted prosecco for Gin whilst making a classic Negroni. ‘Sbagliato’ in Italian means ‘accidental’ hence the name of this refreshing cocktail.

FAQ

What is a Negroni?

A Negroni is an Italian cocktail, or apéritif made with 3 equal parts of alcohol: one part gin, one part vermouth rosso (red, semi-sweet) and one part Campari. It is then garnished with orange peel. Traditionally Negroni is stirred, not shaken and each individual alcohol is ‘built’, or poured over ice.
