Donna's Mistaken Negroni

This cocktail, like the legend of the Negroni Sbagliato, has a fortuitous origin. A twist on the classic Italian Negroni, this version by Sarah Morrissey was born from a happy accident. The combination of Campari, gin, sweet vermouth, and a hint of coconut liqueur creates a delightful and unexpected flavor profile. Served with a sidecar of Champagne, this cocktail is perfect for those looking for a unique and refreshing twist on a beloved classic.
