Altogether, I spent $75 buying the ingredients — prosecco, Campari, sweet vermouth, and a lone orange to be peeled for garnish.

I filled the glass with ice.

Next, I splashed in an ounce of prosecco.

Then I dropped a freshly cut orange peel into the mix.

It was a bit intensely bitter for my taste, so I added more prosecco and another orange peel.

All in all, once I played with the ratios, the negroni sbagliato was delicious and easy, and I'll probably make it en masse for guests in the summer.
