Oh, Stunning: Where to Find the Viral Negroni Sbagliato in Houston

Oh, Stunning: Where to Find the Viral Negroni Sbagliato in Houston

A NEW COCKTAIL trend has spawned after a TikTok of House of Dragons star Olivia Cooke asking her co-star Emma D’Arcy their drink of choice went viral. D’Arcy responds, “a Negroni Sbagliato… with prosecco in it.” Cooke’s reply? “Oh, stunning.”

The video has 18.9 million views on TikTok and has prompted an uptick in orders at bars across town. A traditional Negroni is made with Campari, sweet vermouth and gin. The Negroni Sbagliato — sbagliato is Italian for “mistake” or “wrong” — substitutes the gin for prosecco.

Leadership in Action: ‘Setting Clear Goals’ Among Secrets of Success for Attorney Jess Bailey

How did you get to where you are today?

Consistent habits, like disciplined work and effective communication, kept me moving forward. Being surrounded by motivated, supportive individuals has elevated my standards and kept me accountable. They’ve provided advice, encouragement, and sometimes that extra push I needed to stay on track. With these elements, I’ve been able to create a framework that helps me succeed and ensures I continue to grow and evolve.

Five Fabulously Diverse Exhibits Are Arriving at Museum of Fine Arts Houston

Bill Viola’s ‘Ascension,’ on display as part of ‘Living with the Gods’ at MFAH

THE ARTIST WHO ushered in the expressionist movement in the early 20th century was not, in fact, Picasso or Matisse. It was Paul Gauguin, whose career spanned the decades just preceding the turn of the century. The French painter is the subject of the Museum of Fine Arts’ latest exhibit, Gauguin in the World, which was organized by Henri Loyrette (formerly of the Louvre and the Musée d’Orsay, Paris). The show, just one of the museum’s diverse winter season shows, debuted in Australia in June and will be on display through Feb. 16, 2025, at the MFAH, the only U.S. venue for the survey.
