Perfect Garibaldi
Spring 2021
The Garibaldi is a classic aperitivo. In it, freshly squeezed orange juice and Campari add up to a sum that’s greater than its parts. It was arguably perfected in New York City’s Dante café, a 105-year-old institution that was named World’s Best Bar in 2019. Their secret is fluffy aerated orange juice achieved with a high-pressure juicer. A similar effect can be produced at home using a high-speed blender. A little Grand Marnier amplifies the orange flavour here. Store-bought pasteurized orange juice is bitter—the delicacy of freshly squeezed juice is best.

1. Squeeze the juice from 2 large oranges and fine-strain into a high-speed blender.
2. Add 2 ice cubes to each of 2‑Collins glasses. Pour 1 1/2 oz Campari (LCBO 277954) and 1/4 oz Grand Marnier (LCBO 1784) into each glass.
3. Blend orange juice at medium-high speed in a high-speed blender (or high speed in a regular blender) until light and frothy, about 30 seconds. Add frothy orange juice to each glass until about three-quarters full and stir to combine. Add another ice cube to each glass, top with more frothy juice, and garnish each with an orange wedge.
