Everything You Need to Know About the Garibaldi

The Garibaldi is a simple Italian cocktail that combines Campari and fresh orange juice for a bittersweet, citrus-forward drink that's equally at home at brunch or aperitivo hour. Named for Giuseppe Garibaldi, one of the leading figures in the unification of Italy in the 1800s, the cocktail symbolically brings together Campari from northern Italy with oranges associated with the country's south.

Pro Tip

Fresh orange juice makes a big difference, but texture is what separates a great Garibaldi from ordinary Campari and orange juice. Aerate the juice just before building the cocktail to give it a lighter body and foamy top.

Garibaldi Riff

When blood oranges are in season, substitute fresh blood orange juice for the traditional orange juice. The fruit's deeper citrus flavor and vivid color make an easy seasonal variation without changing the basic structure of the cocktail.
