House of the Dragon star Emma D'Arcy's heavenly delivery is what makes the Negroni Sbagliato so popular.
There is a video of House of the Dragon actors on TikTok. D'Arcy was asked what his drink of choice was in a getting-to-know-you video. D' Arcy raised his brow and said, "A Negroni." Sbagliato, with a glass of wine. The combination of their accents and chemistry has made them a sensation.

Since Julia Fox's "Uncut Jaaahmz", a pronunciation has had a hold on TikTok. D' Arcy's accent is making people horny.

A Negroni Sbagliato is a Negroni that is made with gin, red vermouth, and Campari and is a substitute for gin. The TikTok bartender community was quick to point out the different meanings of D'Arcy's words.
Sarah Louise Rhodes says it's satisfying. She is a graduate student in South Carolina and runs a TikTok account called Thespritzeffect. A video showing how to make a Negroni Spagliato was uploaded by Rhodes. Her video got over 1 million views.
She says, "As a cocktail content creator, when there's a viral sound that has to do with cocktails, it's like, 'I have to jump on that'." Most of my mutual cocktail content creators used that sound. It was like a race, because we all have to use this sound because it has to do with what we do.
A lot of people are getting in on the trend. The Fort Worth, Texas-based lifestyle content creator posted a non- alcoholic Negroni Sbagliato for the "sober curious girlies." A lot of people in my audience were also seeing this content when I saw so many people enjoying it and talking about ordering it. I wanted to make it easy for people who are trying not to drink.
Some people are making a lot of noise about the Negroni Sbagliato, but is this trend going to enter the real world?
It's interesting because it's a divisive cocktail. A lot of people are going to try this cocktail, but most of them are not going to like it. It shows how a viral sound can get people to try new things.

Rebecca Rampersaud is a 29-year-old fashion and tech entrepreneur in Yorkshire and a fan of House of the Dragon. Her video was viewed almost one million times and received over 46,000 likes. Despite posting the recipe a few days ago, Rampersaud admits she hasn't tried it yet, but she will make it tonight. She says that if her video hadn't exploded, she wouldn't have made it.
Maybe this is just a classic case of an internet trend having no real-world impact, or maybe the Negroni Sbagliato will become the new aperitif. The internet agrees that they're all thirsty for D' Arcy.
