This week is Negroni Week and if you haven’t started already it’s time to stir one up. Preferably using the Alessi Shaker 870 designed by Carlo Mazzeri and Luigi Massoni in 1957. Or buy the Random Things poster with the shaker, why not together with a Negroni poster. If you’d like you can use the discount code NEGRONI for either of the two posters to get 10% off but no pressure, you can buy them without the code as well. Being Negroni Week the code should apply to the Negroni Sbagliato poster as well, and it does.
What To Drink During Milano Design Week Day 6
The Negroni Sbagliato (meaning mistaken or erroneous Negroni) was created in 1972 when Mirko Stocchetto at the historic Bar Basso in Milan added sparkling wine instead of the gin by mistake to a Negroni. A little lighter than a regular Negroni and close to the Spritz Veneziano the Negroni Sbagliato makes for a perfekt summer cocktail.
The glass is called X-Series and is a design by Finnish designer Tamara Aladin and was created in 1961.
So, if you happen to be in Milano, why not head straight to Bar Basso on Via Plinio 39 and have a Sbagliato where it was created, celebrating a 50 years old great mistake.
December 18 – Negroni Sbagliato
The Negroni Sbagliato was created in 1972 when Mirko Stocchetto at Bar Basso in Milan added sparkling wine instead of gin by mistake in a Negroni. A little lighter than a regular Negroni and close to the Spritz Veneziano. Now, almost 50 years later it is a classic in its own right.
The X-series glass was designed by Finnish designer Tamara Aladin in 1961.
