One Negroni Sbagliato, Please! With Prosecco In It
You may know the two stars of House of the Dragon—Emma D'Arcy and Olivia Cooke—better by the names of their fictional characters, Rhaenyra Targaryen and Alicent Hightower.
The HBO series, of course, is a huge hit. The premiere episode was viewed by nearly 10 million people, becoming HBO's biggest series premiere ever. D'Arcy and Cooke play high-powered women, lifelong friends, and fiercely headstrong comrades on the show. Their chemistry and magnetic portrayals of their complex characters have charmed legions of fans. But off the screen? They're just like us! They enjoy a refreshing cocktail during their downtime too. In a clip of an interview between the two stars, which premiered after House of the Dragon Episode Eight, Cooke asked D'Arcy for their drink of choice. D'Arcy's reply had the Internet swooning. Cooke asked D'Arcy for their drink of choice. D'Arcy's reply had the Internet swooning.

D'Arcy's favorite drink is a Negroni Sbagliato (with Prosecco in it!), which is not that surprising or strange of a drink option, sure. But the way they said it was so smooth and intriguing that it has us wondering: should D'Arcy be the next James Bond? Negroni, shaken not stirred? Anyone? Either way, Cooke and D'Arcy's discussion of their favorite drinks quickly went viral on social media. The short clip became a refrain that buzzed around fans' lips like a catchy pop song. Fans of the show (and even those who haven't seen House of the Dragon) have taken to the internet to share how D'Arcy's drink order made them feel and, boy, did it evoke some strong feelings. Here are some of our favorite fan reactions.
