Singhani 63 Indian whisky, Campari, rose syrup & Prosecco — Sona NYC
Singhani 63 is a single malt Indian whisky produced by the Radico Khaitan distillery in Rampur, Uttar Pradesh — the same distillery that produces Rampur, India's most internationally recognized single malt. Singhani 63 takes its name from 1963, the year Radico was founded. It has a lighter, more floral character than Rampur, with jasmine, honey, and light wood notes that make it ideal for mixing. Sona's bar team discovered that Indian whisky + Campari + rose + Prosecco — a Negroni Sbagliato built around Indian ingredients — creates a drink that sings in a way no Italian whisky Negroni does.
Singhani 63 and Rampur are available at Indian liquor stores and specialist whisky shops internationally. Their floral, lighter profile works much better here than heavier Indian whiskies. The Negroni Sbagliato format (replacing gin with sparkling wine) originated when a Milanese bartender accidentally poured Prosecco into a Negroni — the mistake that became a classic. Sona's version adds rose to the Campari structure, making the whole drink floral.
Sona was one of New York City's most acclaimed modern Indian restaurants, co-owned by model and restaurateur Priyanka Chopra Jonas. Known for its nuanced interpretation of Indian cuisine and a cocktail programme that treated Indian ingredients with genuine respect, Sona closed in June 2026. These recipes preserve the drinks that made it special.
