The Garibaldi, a once-obscure drink that was named after a 19th-century Italian revolutionary leader.
The Garibaldi, a once-obscure drink that was named after a 19th-century Italian revolutionary leader, received a boost in popularity when it was adopted as a signature drink by a trendy New York bar, according to Liquor.com. An oft-told tale, to be sure, and one that has no doubt revived numerous other cocktails in recent years.
One reason the Garibaldi is now in fashion may be its simplicity. As recipe developer Christina Musgrave describes it, it's "a classic cocktail with two simple ingredients of fresh orange juice and Campari" and she says the flavor is "a good combination of bitter and sweet." Of course the Garibaldi is not quite as easy to throw together as say, the screwdriver, as the orange juice is supposed to be not only fresh-squeezed but also frothy. The Garibaldi, however, does have another strong point in its favor — Campari, like the similar aperitif Aperol, has a modest level of alcohol (nearly half that of hard liquor), so mixing it with juice makes for a fairly low-ABV cocktail that is good for occasions when you don't want to overdo it on the booze. As Musgrave tells us, "I'd serve this for a brunch drink or as a pre-dinner cocktail," and it might also be a good choice for holiday parties, as well.
Gather the Garibaldi Ingredients
It won't take you too long to collect the necessary ingredients: an orange or two for squeezing, a bottle of Campari, some ice cubes, and that's pretty much it. For a garnish, you may wish to use a dried orange slice as shown here, although other options are possible and will be discussed below. Read More...
