The name might be a mouthful, but so's this cocktail–and a delicious one at that! The orange flavors remind me of the clementines my parents would slip into our Christmas stockings, and any sparkling cocktail gets my approval this time of year!Roasted Orange Negroni Sbagliato
1 orange wedge
1 oz. Carpano Antica
1 1/4 oz. Campari
1 1/4 oz. lambrusco bianco
Lightly char the orange wedge over a gas burner or on a grill. Let cool.
In a mixing glass, muddle roasted orange with vermouth. Add Campari and ice, then stir. Strain into an ice-filled rocks glass, top with sparkling wine.
Notes: This cocktail calls for some fairly specific ingredients, but there simply is no substitute for Campari (or Carpano Antica, for that matter). The one place you do have some wiggle room is with the lambrusco bianco, a tough to find bubbly that will be as delicious in this cocktail as prossecco, it's slightly lighter cousin.
Cheers, darlings–to a fabulous Friday night, a happy holiday season and a divine New Year! See you in 2012!

I hope your 2012 is filled with the magic you so very much deserve! You are a wonderful friend and a bright light in this world! Sending you lots of love! xo Samantha
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to see in your blog this recipe! The Negroni born in my city (Florence) and Negroni sbagliato also in Italy. When I lived in the USA I never found it! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThat looks wonderful!
