Emma D'Arcy, star of House of the Dragon, has made fans want to try a not-very-regular Italian drink known as the Negroni sbagliato with prosecco. On September 22, HBO Max posted a YouTube video titled Emma D'Arcy & Olivia Cooke Get To Know Me | House of the Dragon | HBO Max. In the video, Olivia Cooke asks her fellow actor, "What’s your drink of choice?" After taking some time to ponder over the question, D’Arcy responded, "a Negroni." Cooke added, "I was going to say the same thing."

D’Arcy went on to interject and add,

"Sbagliato... with Prosecco in it."

Emma's accent, smooth delivery, and playful response to the question sent the internet into a frenzy. The chemistry between the two throughout the entire video segment captivated netizens.

How to pronounce the Negroni drink revealed

D'Arcy's seven-word response and particularly the pronunciation of the drink sparked a firestorm of discussion about the Italian cocktail. For those who wish to understand the correct pronunciation of the drink, negroni is pronounced “neˈɡro.ni,” sbagliato is pronounced as “spAHg-lee-AH-toh” and prosecco sounds like “pruh·seh·koh.”

A negroni sbagliato consists of a Negroni (that includes equal parts gin, red vermouth and Campari). However, in the Sbagliato version of the beverage, the gin is replaced with Prosecco.

It has been rumored that the drink was created by an Italian bartender who ended up making it by mistake. While creating a traditional negroni, they happened to replace the gin with sparkling wine.

The sbagliato drink that favors prosecco makes the beverage much lighter in taste and alcoholic content.

"I hadn’t seen it": Emma D’Arcy admis to not watching Game of Thrones before auditioning for House of the Dragon

Game of Thrones is a pop culture phenomenon with a worldwide fan base and an endless list of awards. It should come as no surprise that the prequel series performs similarly, if not better.

However, Emma D’Arcy who plays Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen, has not watched GOT. They revealed to Interview magazine that they did not watch the famous series and it ended up working in their favor. The 30-year-old revealed:

"I hadn't seen it before I auditioned, which I honestly think is the only reason I'm able to do the job. There's no way I'd have made it through the audition process if, at that time, I had the love for the show that I have now. I think I'd have buckled under the pressure."
