Sbagliato
The Sbagliato, meaning 'mistaken' in Italian, is a delightful cocktail that emerged from a happy accident in the 1970s when a bartender mistakenly used sparkling wine instead of gin in a Negroni. This effervescent twist adds a refreshing lightness to the classic bitter-sweet flavor profile, making it the perfect aperitif to sip while enjoying good company. With its vibrant colors and refreshing bubbles, the Sbagliato is not just a drink; it's a celebration of Italian conviviality and creativity.
