Negroni Sbagliato 10-Pack

Jody Williams and Rita Sodi—the chefs behind NYC’s beloved Via Carota restaurant—have expanded their range of batched-and-bottled cocktails to enjoy at home, with a summer-ready line of sparkling drinks that are ideal for a balmy evening. The new cocktails include effervescent Spritz, Paloma, French 75, Negroni Sbagliato and a White Negroni Sbagliato—all made with the same focus on quality ingredients that the restaurant is known for. If you have to choose just one, we recommend the classic Negroni Sbagliato. Meaning “mistaken” or “bungled,” Sbagliato riffs on the classic Negroni, replacing gin with sparkling wine. Via Carota’s citrusy and bittersweet iteration can be sipped straight from the bottle, but we suggest serving it over plenty of ice for even more refreshment. Price is for a 10 pack.

Fingernail Cutter

EDJY has reimagined the nail clipper, a tool largely unchanged since the 1880s, by introducing a single-blade design that cuts cleanly rather than crushing. This innovation eliminates jagged edges and the need for post-trim filing, while an integrated cavity collects clippings to prevent mess. Crafted in Michigan, EDJY’s cutters are made from high-hardness stainless steel and have been tested for over 150,000 cycles to ensure durability. The ergonomic design positions the lever closer to the blade for enhanced control, and a safety-tested blade stop protects the nail bed. By combining precision engineering with sustainable, American-made manufacturing, EDJY offers a thoughtful upgrade to a daily grooming essential.
