In the clip D’Arcy reveals their favourite drink, saying: “A Negroni. Sbagliato, with Prosecco in it.” Cooke appears to be immediately entranced with D’Arcy’s choice and responds, “Stunning.” People became enamoured with the way D’Arcy delivered her answer with fans commenting on the raspiness of her voice and dramatic pauses. Many comments on the clip said they now want to try the drink with one writing: “I’ve never been a Negroni fan but I think I am now”.

Olivia Cooke also revealed her drink of choice is a Gin Martini with a twist. However, it’s the Sbagliato’s time to shine and fans are thirsty. Like millions of others, I had the moment on loop in my head, and still do.

A Negroni has always been a top drink of choice for me, particularly in the colder months, but with prosecco? It sounded like a perfect marriage of my winter drink and a summery spritz. Click and Drink kindly sent us one of their bundles with all the ingredients to make our very own Negroni…Sbagliato…with prosecco. Spoiler alert - I was not disappointed.

The bitterness of the drink is nicely balanced by the fizz from the prosecco, making it a sparkling addition to any winter menu. Not to mention it took mere seconds to make. If you are already a fan of a Negroni this is a perfect way to mix things up.
