Garibaldi is a well-known simple drink usually combining only two ingredients, Campari and orange juice. At first glance it does not seem to be anything special. However, after I have listened to the Vinepair’s Cocktail College episode with Luca Missaglia and I heard his take on this drink, I was dying to try it out.
Luca Missaglia’s improved version of the Garibaldi features Campari alongside a blend of three different citrus: ruby red grapefruit, blood orange and bergamot, a lovely combination. Flavour profile of the cocktail is refreshingly bitter. Blending bitter orange and spice notes of Campari with freshness of blood orange and grapefruit. A fruit mix that perfectly supports the bitter nature of the Campari. Bergamot twist at the end is a tasty choice, bringing additional fragrance and dimension to the cocktail. Although, depending on where you live it might be difficult to get a hold of fresh bergamots. I have dried some previously, while fruits where still in season, and used a dehydrated wheel as a garnish. Fresh peel would have brought more fragrance, but you got to work with what you have.
In essence this Garibaldi version captures the spirit of Mediterranean summer in a glass.
