ABOUT THE COCKTAIL

Cocktails are a fun way to elevate the everyday; however, I’m not a master mixologist (at least, not yet). So what is a girl to do if she’s craving a cocktail, but wants to Netflix and chill rather than leaving her home. Or better yet, serve cocktails at her next party to mix it up. It’s easy to default to wine, so serving a cocktail, even a simple one can be unexpected and fun. There are several cocktail recipes that one could use. For example, a gin and tonic, which is a great classic choice for summer or if you’re more advanced a classic martini. However, in my opinion, the Negroni Sbagliato suits my skill level and taste buds just fine. I first learned about this cocktail while visiting The Beekman, a hotel in lower Manhattan with a fabulously designed cocktail bar, over the holidays with my younger brother.

This cocktail simply substitutes the usual gin that one finds in a Negroni with prosecco, which is poured over a mixture of Campari and sweet vermouth – three ingredients and you’re done! In doing my research, I also learned that “sbagliato” translates from Italian as “wrong, full of mistakes, or erroneous.” Essentially, this drink is a “broken” Negroni, so it’s suitable for even the most novice of mixologists. Another great thing about this cocktail is that it can be served as a punch so that you’re not spending your entire evening making cocktails rather than socializing with your guests.

A BIT ABOUT THE INGREDIENTS

Before we get into the actual recipe, I want to give you guys a little background on the components of this cocktail. I don’t know about you, but I always like learning about what’s actually in the drinks or food I’m enjoying. While most of you know what prosecco is, I still get confused on the differences between bitters, apertifs, digestifs, etc. in the world of cocktail making so I thought the above list would be helpful to all of you as well.

This cocktail can be served in either a champagne flute or an old-fashioned glass. I went with the old-fashioned glass here as they are a bit sturdier. Additionally, I used blood orange slices for garnish. If you are opting for the champagne flute, I would use some of the peel for garnish instead. Further, if you are going with a punch bowl version of this cocktail, you could slice up the blood oranges and put them directly in the bowl. In choosing my serverware and decor, I was inspired by the deep red color of the Campari, and used gold, black, and white items that had an art deco feel. The tray and cocktail swizzles can be found at CB2 and the old-fashioned glasses were purchased at Home Goods, but there are great options on Amazon as well (scroll to the bottom to shop the post – please note this post contains affiliate links so I may earn a small commission if you purchase an item; however, this does not impact the price that you pay).

Manners & Manhattans Tip: To elevate your tablescape, add fresh flowers. You don’t even need to break the bank. I actually found nice bouquets at Trader Joe’s for $5.99 each. I then arranged them in my own vases.

Recipe Notes

You don't have to be precise when adding the prosecco to the top. Additionally, I used Mionetto Prosecco and thought it worked very well for this cocktail. Any oranges will work; however, I prefer blood oranges for their extra vibrant/deeper coloring.

  • 750 mL chilled Martini & Rossi Sweet Vermouth
  • 750 mL chilled prosecco
Instructions
  1. Pour into a large punch bowl over a block of ice

750 mL is the standard size of a wine bottle. For the sweet vermouth, you may need two bottles - when I went shopping, I was only able to find 375 mL bottles of the Martini & Rossi sweet vermouth.

I’m a super nerd who likes making resolutions an I’m a super nerd who likes making resolutions and goals at the beginning of the new year. Here are some of my hosting resolutions this year:⁣
⁣
• Be more present with my guests. I have a tendency to want to clean up and make everything perfect when guests are over. This takes me away from being fully present in conversations with my guests and I really want to change that this year.⁣
⁣
• To add onto the above - be less of a perfectionist.⁣
⁣
• Have more impromptu, smaller gatherings at my apartment.⁣
Happy New Year, all! Been thinking a lot about my Happy New Year, all! Been thinking a lot about my little space here on the Internet. I started my feed and blog in 2018 after moving to a job which allowed me more work-life balance to explore my creativity again. ⁣⁣⁣
•⁣⁣⁣
I intended this to be all about modern manners & home entertaining. I don’t really talk about manners too much on here anymore (although I still think they’re important, for the record). Further, I’ve learned that the most important parts of hosting to me are the people, food/drinks I’m sharing with them, and creating a warm atmosphere. I used to be super concerned with everything being perfect and curated to the Nth degree; however, after hosting tons of parties at my apartment between 2018 and now, I’ve realized that no one really gives a f*** about the kind of plates you have, a table scape, or even if you just ordered pizza and opened up a bottle of wine rather than cooking. ⁣⁣⁣
•⁣⁣⁣
If I’m being completely honest, the name of my blog feels a little too precious for me now and for me, doesn’t resonate as much as it once did. I’m not sure what you guys can expect from this platform in the new year - maybe a name change, definitely more of my baking adventures, maybe more of a lifestyle vibe. I haven’t really decided or figured it out yet. ⁣⁣⁣
•⁣⁣⁣
Admittedly this platform has also taken a backseat to other work/projects that I’ve been more interested in lately. I guess a reminder to all of us that it’s ok to try new things, change, and shift priorities. As the saying goes - when you’re through changing, you’re through. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Wishing everyone the best for 2020 and beyond!

As many of you have probably heard me mention befo As many of you have probably heard me mention before, I love podcasts and listen to them while cooking, baking, and getting ready in the morning. Here are a list of some of my favorites from 2019. Some are old standbys and some are new to me. ⁣
⁣
(1) The Daily from  @nytimes - I listen to this podcast everyday while doing my makeup before work. Basically 20-30 minutes on timely topics in politics and culture;⁣
⁣
(2) @howibuiltthisnpr - I love listening to founders on how they started and grew their companies. I find the ones who had some failures or a rocky start most interesting. My favorite episodes were on Bonobos, Whole Foods, and Glossier;⁣
⁣
(3) @presssendpodcast from Chinae Alexander - This is a new favorite from social entrepreneur, Chinae Alexander. She and her guest of the week give advice to listeners who write in with questions about everything from how to find a job you like to dealing with difficult family at the holidays;⁣
⁣
(4) @uuppod - super funny podcast on modern dating and relationships;⁣
⁣
(5) Heavyweight from @gimletmedia - the theme of this podcast centers on moments that people wish they could change or understand better. Some of these moments seem amusing and even trivial (to the outsider listening); others are serious and touching. I especially love the host’s dry and sarcastic sense of humor which is injected into the episodes no matter what the subject matter is that week; and to me, adds levity to a podcast that focuses on confronting the ghosts of one’s past (no matter how big or small). ⁣
⁣
I told myself I’d limit this list to 5 - but a few others worth checking out are Where Do We Begin with Esther Perel, Girlboss Radio, and Fresh Air with the always wonderful, Terry Gross. ⁣
⁣
Do you have any favorites?

⁣
What is everyone up to for the holiday season? I’ll be sticking around town, seeing family and friends, and planning for 2020. ⁣
⁣
I’ve been busy with other projects outside of the blog so if you’ve noticed you see less of me on here lately, that’s why.  As I set my intentions and goals for the new year, I’ve been thinking of maybe rebranding this platform to tilt to more #lifestyle content than just parties, food, and baking. But right now 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️. ⁣
⁣
On that note, happy #saturday, friends!
Understated holiday looks that feature metallics a Understated holiday looks that feature metallics are totally my vibe. Call me the grinch, but for my apartment,  I’m not big on anything that screams holiday too loudly. I try as best as I can to match my holiday decor to my everyday decor. #typeapersonality
Every year, my mom and I bake tons of cookies - it Every year, my mom and I bake tons of cookies - it’s a tradition I always look forward to each holiday season. ⁣
⁣
We do everything from simple spritz sugar cookies to labor intensive rainbow cookies (which if I’m keeping it 💯 - most of us have only had purchased from an Italian bakery bc they are that labor intensive). One of our favorites to make is a Mexican wedding cake - it’s made with lots of confectionary sugar, butter, and chopped pecans. They are heaven and I always eat too many. ⁣
