Look, I’m just going to say it: Emma D’Arcy has single-handedly broken every TikToker and queer person’s brain by announcing their drink of choice is a negroni sbagliato with prosecco in it. I truly mean that in the best way possible — I, for one, welcome having my brain fried from repeatedly listening to the actor say “sbagliato”. And now you can listen to their dulcet tones while enjoying the sippy drink in the comfort of your own home, because bartenders on TikTok are showing people how to make it.
Screaming, crying, throwing up et cetera.
Chris Leavitt (@notjustabartender) is the bar director of a restaurant in Las Vegas, and he’s one of TikTok’s many cocktail connoisseurs doing God’s work by sharing the negroni sbagliato recipe.

It’s a gorgeous video but I need to be honest and admit the main reason I’ve included it in this story is because it features D’arcy’s delicious, husky voiceover. It just scratches an itch in my brain that I didn’t know existed.
On that note, the only ingredients you’ll need to make a negroni sbagliato are sweet vermouth, Campari, prosecco and an orange.
All you’ve got to do is add one ounce of sweet vermouth and another of Campari to an ice-filled glass. Top with prosecco (or any brut sparkling wine), add an orange wedge or twist and Bob’s your uncle: you now have your very own negroni sbagliato.
@notjustabartender I had to hop on this IMMEDIATELY. Also one of my favorite negroni variations, especially if you love a more effervescent cocktail. Sbagliato means “broken” or “mistake” in Italian, and rumor has it this cocktail was made by accident when a bartender meant to make a regular negroni, but reached for prosecco instead of gin. I dont know how you do that honestly, but I love a good story, especially when it comes from a happy accident. Recipe: 1 oz sweet vermouth, 1 oz campari, top with sparkling (prosecco is a solid choice, but any brut style would suffice). Wedge or a twist, your choice.
Thank you for your service, Chris Leavitt.
He explained the lore of the “effervescent” cocktail in the video’s caption.
“Sbagliato means ‘broken’ or ‘mistake’ in Italian and rumour has it this cocktail was made by accident when a bartender meant to make a regular negroni, but reached for prosecco instead of gin,” he said.
“I don’t know how you do that honestly, but I love a good story — especially when it comes from a happy accident.”
Amazing. Obsessed with this history lesson. Now, back to the video that’s sent all of TikTok (and me) into a bloody tizzy.

Oh my God. Please check on your queer friends to make sure they’re ok.
The way Emma D’Arcy leans in when they say “with prosecco in it” is just too much. Olivia Cooke‘s “oh! Stunnin’!” is also so fucking cute.
If you need me, I’ll be watching the video for the one millionth time.
