The negroni sbagliato may have been social media’s cocktail of choice a few years ago, but the Prosecco-based drink is an Italian classic, swapping gin for sparkling wine, as with a negroni. Bitter but sweet, this cocktail is perfect before canapes, and luckily, hostess Stephanie Conley Buhre has a few recipes to share. Just see below for her must-have cocktails and canapes.

Ingredients

Method

1.

Fill a wine glass or tumbler with ice. Add half the Campari, vermouth and Prosecco to each glass, stir and serve garnished with orange slice or peel.
