Frequently asked questions
What does a fluffy Garibaldi mean?
For a fluffy Garibaldi the orange juice is mechanically aerated, creating an airy, almost creamy texture. This version made the Dante bar in New York famous.
Why is the drink called Garibaldi?
The name refers to Giuseppe Garibaldi and symbolically unites northern and southern Italy: the Campari from the north and the oranges from the south.
Can I use bottled orange juice?
Freshly pressed tastes noticeably better and aerates more easily. Bottled juice works in a pinch but is less fruity.
