Forget about the Espresso Martini. Throw out your Dirty Shirley. There’s a new drink in town, and it’s the Negroni Sbagliato with Prosecco.
And, thanks to the House of the Dragon’s Emma D’Arcy, there are also are quite a few Negroni Sbagliato memes and tweets. Here’s the best ones we’ve found so far.
What’s the Origin of the Negroni Sbagliato Meme?
If your TikTok, Twitter, and Instagram feed haven’t been flooded with these words yet, let’s back up. HBO posted a video of House of the Dragon stars Emma D’Arcy (Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen) and Olivia Cooke (Queen Alicent).
Cooke asks D’Arcy what their favorite drink is, and they respond, “A negroni.” Pause. “Sbagliato.” More pause. “With Prosecco in it. Everyone collectively loses their minds. Cooke chimes in, “Oh, stunning!”
Now, just reading that dialog doesn’t do it justice. D’Arcy’s cadence and tone makes it sound like they’re recording an audio book for an adult novel. They’re letting you in on a secret.
They’re stirring up emotions that you haven’t felt since watching every scene with Camila Mendes and Maya Hawke in Do Revenge.
So that’s the scene. But what about the drink? A traditional negroni is made with Campari, sweet vermouth, and gin. A Negroni Sbagliato (which translates to “broken negroni”) swaps the gin for a sparkling wine. And D’Arcy educates us that it should be Processo. Thank you, future queen.
To the delight of the queer community and the despair of bartenders everywhere, this drink and the Negroni Sbagliato with Prosecco memes took off like wildfire from a dragon. Here are the best ones we found so far.
