Joe Campanale’s Negroni Sbagliato

Joe Campanale, Fausto | Brooklyn, NY

In his take on the Negroni Sbagliato, Joe Campanale goes for a double dose of bitters, using one ounce each of the Brooklyn-made Forthave Red and Cappelletti from Italy. The judges in our blind Negroni Sbagliato tasting found the drink the most beguiling of the 10, with endless layers of piquant, spicy, herbal and savory flavors.
