GARIBALDI COCKTAIL🍹

From Italy to Uruguay, to New York city

This classic Italian cocktail couldn’t be simpler, in fact it is composed by just two ingredients: Campari bitter and orange juice.

The success of this old fashioned drink comes from its just-about-right balance between the Campari bittersweetness and the smooth tartness of the freshly-squeezed orange juice; and the key is squeezing the orange juice immediately before serving to maintain a ‘fluffy’ aerated consistency.

Fresh, silky and bright, this is an easy-to-make cocktail that can turn any night in into a special occasion.

A little history

Like many cocktails that have withstood the test of time, the Garibaldi comes with a story even if its origins are unknown.

The named is an homage to Giuseppe Garibaldi, a crucial figure in the liberation of both Italy and Uruguay, and the red-orange drink represents the red shirts worn by Garibaldi’s followers, or the Garibaldini.

Its ingredients - Campari from the north area of Piedmont and oranges from southern Italy, specifically Sicily - together represent the idea of the country’s unification, the cause that drove Garibaldi in his life and work.

Recently, this little known Italian classic has received a new lease of life thanks to the award-winning bar Dante in New York City.
