What is the bartender tip for a Negroni Sbagliato?

Sbagliato means mistaken: at Bar Basso in Milan, the Negroni's gin came out and prosecco went in. It's an Americano with bubbles instead of soda — Campari's bitterness and the vermouth's sweetness stay, the proof drops. Equal parts (45 ml) as in the video; if it feels heavy, cut the Campari and vermouth to 30 ml and top with more sparkling wine. Use a brut prosecco; a sweet one turns syrupy. Stir the Campari and vermouth before the bubbles; after that, just one turn. Keep opened vermouth in the fridge. The catalog already has the Negroni (with gin) and the Americano (with soda).
