The Garibaldi is one of those cocktails that never gets old. it fits any situation either it’s a formal dinner, an aperitif in the afternoon, or a nice drink to kick start the weekend.
When thinking of the perfect pair for Campari oranges are the first that came to mind.
the amazing contrast created by h the bitterness of Campari with the sweetness and acidity of fresh oranges is divine.
just ask any Campari fan and you will hear the same answer.
History
This drink is named after Giuseppe Garibaldi and symbolizes the unification of Italy.
from the north, we have the Campari (produced in Milano).
from the south, we have Sicilian oranges.
Garibaldi was a key figure in the creation of the unified kingdom of Italy in 1861.
therefore, to this day people Salue with this drink named after him.
Important notes
The Dante in NYC is known for their Garibaldi and that what we are aiming for here.
now, I know not everyone can get their hands on fresh Sicilian oranges so I will give you a pass.
But, you cannot skip the part of the fluffy fresh orange juice.
First, do yourself a favor and use fresh fruit and not a bottled juice.
then we need to squeeze the juice into a bowl and start whisking the juice to create a fluffy foam.
Whisking the juice can take between 10 to 20 minutes.
This step is unskippable so if you have a machine that can do it for you – you’re lucky.
