The Negroni Sbagliato Easter egg on Google.
Google is feeding into the viral video featuring House of the Dragon stars Emma D'Arcy and Olivia Cooke discussing the Negroni Sbagliato drink.
If you now Google either actor's name, their hands and arms -- clad in character costumes and jewelry -- will pop up from the bottom of your screen, and they'll clink glasses.
The Negroni Sbagliato video was posted to HBO Max's TikTok account on Oct. 1, and saw D'Arcy, who plays Princess Raenerya, tell Cooke, who plays Queen Alicent, that her drink of choice is: "A negroni ... sbagliato ... with prosecco in it."
The video went viral, and now has 1.7 million likes on TikTok. You can also watch a longer version of it on HBO Max's YouTube channel.
