Social media trends are just that unpredictable.

Emma D'Arcy is on their peak right now: not only is the actor starring in the world's biggest show, House of the Dragon, but their drinking preference is now... a TikTok trend.

If you can't understand why on Earth a "negroni sbagliato with prosecco in it" is the new sound that takes short video social media by storm, we're here to brief you on that. It's all because of D'Arcy's favorite cocktail which they shared with their co-star Olivia Cooke in a TikTok video.

You can rarely predict something going viral, but the way D'Arcy responded to Cooke's question about their drink of choice has immediately got fans going insane in the comments. People were mesmerized by D'Arcy's voice and the details they shared about their favorite cocktail — to the point of the classic Italian cocktail immediately spiking in popularity.

Not only is the cocktail now being discussed on social media, but the very sound of D'Arcy's response has become meme material, with people using it for their own reels and TikTok.

The impact made by the cocktail fun fact about D'Arcy appears to be truly immense.

Who could have thought that a single cocktail name uttered by Emma D'Arcy could lure new viewers for House of the Dragon? And yet, here we are.
