Cocktail Colin says:
The Garibaldi cocktail, with its harmonious infusion of Aperol and freshly squeezed orange juice, brightens the palate with a delightful interplay between the bittersweet complexities of the Aperol and the citrus burst from the orange. The subtle inclusion of sugar syrup in this mix adds just the right touch of sweetness, enhancing the depth of the Aperol while preserving the fresh zestiness of the orange—making it a perfectly balanced drink for those who appreciate a bright, refreshing cocktail with a sophisticated twist.
Method
How to make a Garibaldi
-
- First, squeeze orange juice using a pillar or elbow press, then fine strain it to eliminate any pulp, ensuring a smooth texture
-
- Next, blend the freshly squeezed juice at high speed (without ice) until it achieves a "fluffy" consistency, creating a light and airy texture
-
- After that, add bitter liqueur, sugar syrup, and half of the orange juice into a glass containing two ice cubes, then stir well to combine the flavors evenly
-
- Proceed by adding three more cubes of ice to the glass to chill it further without diluting the drink too quickly
-
- Finally, gently top off the glass with the remaining fluffy orange juice, creating a visually appealing layer

FAQ's
What is the origin of the Garibaldi cocktail?
The Garibaldi cocktail is named after Giuseppe Garibaldi, a significant figure in the history of Italy known for his efforts to unify the country. The drink symbolizes the unification of Italy, combining the bitter flavors from the north (Aperol) with the sweet orange juice from the south.
Can the Garibaldi cocktail be made without alcohol?
Yes, a non-alcoholic version of the Garibaldi can be made by omitting the Aperol and perhaps adding a non-alcoholic bitter aperitif or simply increasing the orange juice and sugar syrup amounts to taste. This modification retains the refreshing citrus flavor profile.
What type of glass is best suited for serving the Garibaldi?
A Garibaldi is traditionally served in a cocktail glass, as indicated in the recipe details. However, it can also be served in a highball glass or a Collins glass for a more casual presentation, especially if you prefer adding more orange juice or ice.
How can I adjust the sweetness or bitterness of the Garibaldi?
To adjust the sweetness, you can vary the amount of sugar syrup according to your taste. For a sweeter drink, increase the sugar syrup slightly. To enhance bitterness and complexity, consider adding a bit more Aperol. Taste testing as you adjust is key to finding your perfect balance.
Is the Garibaldi suitable for brunch?
Absolutely. The Garibaldi, with its refreshing and somewhat light alcohol content, makes an excellent choice for brunch. Its vibrant color and citrus notes are both invigorating and delightful, pairing well with a wide range of brunch dishes.
