Description: A lighter, fizzier Negroni variant that swaps gin for prosecco, meaning "mistaken" Negroni in Italian.
Cultural Background: Created by accident in the 1960s or 70s at a Milan bar when a bartender reportedly grabbed sparkling wine instead of gin — the happy mistake stuck.
Tips: Build over ice and top last with prosecco to preserve its fizz.
Variations: A classic Negroni uses gin instead of prosecco for the stronger, non-sparkling original.
Serving Suggestion: Serve over ice as a lighter, fizzier alternative to the classic Negroni.
