Non Alcoholic Negroni Sbagliato

The non alcoholic Negroni Sbagliato twists our Phony Negroni recipe by swapping out the gin for sparkling wine. You'll still get the bold flavors from the non alcoholic campari and vermouth, but with the added zing and fizz of a bubbly wine; brightening the beloved negroni flavor profile. If you enjoy a spritz, this is the Negroni for you.

While the word Sbagliato means "mistaken" in Italian, this version is the perfect fix for happy hour. Best of all, both this and our Phony Negroni recipes are non alcoholic, so you can crave without consequence and enjoy your Negroni guilt-free and hangover-free.

Tip: Feel free to play with the measurements, if you feel like adding a bit more sparkling wine, go for it!

Best non alcoholic Sparkling Wines for a Negroni Sbagliato

Picking the perfect non alcoholic sparkling wine for your Negroni Sbagliato is all about choosing one that’s got a fine balance between sweetness and acidity.

It should also be versatile, enhancing the other ingredients of the drink instead of overpowering them. It’s an equal parts cocktail for a reason, so all the ingredients must play nice with each other and keep it balanced. Below are our recommendations for the best non alcoholic sparkling wines to use in you Negroni Sbagliato:

• No & Low Sparkling Chardonnay: This crowd favorite non alcoholic Prosecco replacement is the perfect alternative to use in your Negroni Sbagliato. It’s practically indistinguishable from the real thing, delivering notes of pear and dried apricot with a balanced acidity, plus a flavorful and lasting finish.
  
  

• Lyre’s Classico: For something quick, get yourself Lyre’s Classico ready-to-drink cans. With a semi-sweet flavor profile that includes green apple tartness followed by a soft richness of pear, peach, and red apple, it delivers a crisp and refreshing effervescence to your drink.

• Lautus Sparkling Brut: Lautus’ Champagne-style sparkling wine delivers a nuanced and sophisticated taste to your non alcoholic Negroni Sbagliato, featuring crisp notes of light pear and baked apple paired with lively bubbles. It brings a refined elegance to the cocktail, enhancing the bitter and herbal qualities of the non alcoholic campari and vermouth.

• No & Low Sparkling Rosé: Here’s a twist on top of a twist — try using the No & Low Sparkling Rosé as your sparkling wine to get a fruitier and sweeter flavor profile. It’ll have a more delicate sophistication compared to the bolder and stronger notes of Prosecco-based Negroni Sbagliato, which is perfect for those who are looking for something a little lighter and more refreshing. It still retains the signature bittersweet notes of the Negroni Sbagliato but with a playful twist.
