Joe Campanale goes for a double dose of bitters, using one ounce each of the Brooklyn-made Forthave Red and Cappelletti from Italy. To that base he added a mere half-ounce of Dolin red vermouth, one ounce of sparkling water for added fizz and a topper of prosecco, all served over ice, stirred gently, and garnished with an orange slice. The judges in a recent blind Negroni Sbagliato tasting found the drink the most beguiling of the 10, with endless layers of piquant, spicy, herbal and savory flavors.
