Master The Classics: Garibaldi

The Garibaldi is one of my all time favorite Highball drinks and it is so simple and so refreshing. I also want to note that those who claim to dislike Campari would do well to order this one, the flavors are paired so well (Campari and Orange is an obvious pairing) that I think you might be surprised by this one. A perfect brunch drink!
This cocktail was named after the Italian General Guiseppe Garibaldi who contributed to Italian Risorgimento (resurgence) which led to the unification of the country in 1871. He is considered one of the greatest Generals of all time. The name of the cocktail comes from the "unification" of Campari from Northern Italy and Oranges from Southern Italy.
Campari is a product created by Carmine Campari around 1860 and hails from Novara Northern Italy. It's distinctive red color was originally extracted by using crushed cochineal insects, but don't worry the process has changed since those early days and now it is vegetarian! Also when in season you can use blood oranges to make this a little more authentic and you'll get wonderful flavor and color. alright that's all I got for this one! Enjoy it!
For this Garibaldi we are employing a technique created by Naren Young of the bar Dante in NYC. When he makes Garibaldis he runs the Orange Juice through a high speed Juicer (A Breville I believe) this aerates the orange juice and makes it fluffy. I use a lower tech approach here (since I don't have the juicer) and give the orange juice a good old shake in a tin to get the same effect.

[@OfftheChainz]

As a Campari fiend, this is one of my favourites. Delicious just before a meal!

[@JeffJefferson]

I can see this being a great brunch highball. The bitterness of the Campari could really wake up the palate!!!

[@ConScortis]

"One spirit and a modifying ingredient" accurately describes your relationship. Leandro (the free spirit) and Marius (the modifying ingredient). Haha, you guys are great!

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Constantine Scortis Love that!!!!

[@katerogers8260]

What a beautiful drink! I think I will serve this with my Easter Brunch.

[@kwjames87]

I really love the color. The layers look really nice.

[@joshuacaulfield]

I don’t care for Campari, but your videos inspire me to try things well outside my comfort zone. I am not a convert, but this was good enough that I avoided throwing away my bottle of Campari. Thanks.

[@gnomoanarco3777]

throwing away a campri bottle? why? there is so much use for it…

[@amykruse6969]

I haven't had a Garibaldi for about a year. Perfect timing for Easter Brunch. Thanks for the reminder.

[@tealosophy]

I also add 1/2 oz of sweet Vermouth, it gives it a really nice touch.

[@westinmcclister1507]

Such a great recipe. Love the clash of sweet and bitter and how well they play together

[@BullzEyeXL]

Campari and orange juice us literally nectar of the gods for me. Thanks for giving the idea of dryshaking the orange juice. Ill try it at my shift:) Glad Marius reminded to taste it cus i was getting really angry that you missed the tasting notes!!

[@blanding1018]

I love it! And for the orinigal Dante's version, It has a lovely orange wedge on top of the glass!

[@fadisoueidi4127]

Seems like I've been drinking "garibaldis" since forever without knowing... delicious

[@thistlenstar]

Wow, your hair grew sure back quickly! The Garibaldi seems perfect for a warm afternoon. Thanks!

[@samtorres6352]

I'm anxious to try this. I love Campari. Great technique! Two ingredients. Wow.

[@nacholopez7348]

It's funny how that pallet change seems to happen in all young bartenders I know. I think it happened like after the last Negroni week that I fully surrendered to campari and know it's usually what I drink when I go out.

[@longcat7673]

Same.

[@kwjames87]

The colors are great on this one 👌👌

[@dkp2112]

Going to try this tonight. I’ve become a huge fan of the Negroni

[@alexgordonepic]

love campari... always keep a back up bottle.. ha. love trying to get others to like with spotty results. ha boulevardiers(had spell check that one) , negronis, siestas, junge birds!!!(my fav campari tail) and now i have a new drink to try. :) thanks!

[@jimfererro1493]

2 oz. seems a bit heavy handed. I’d suggest starting off with 1 oz. and add more if desired. Also using blood orange juice makes for a brilliant and slightly sweeter version.

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Jim Fererro absolutely adjust as you see fit, for 2oz is the best balance but Naren Young does 1.5 for me an ounce is a bit light but to each their own as they say :)

[@matttalksbeer1474]

i think Campari is a fantastic ingredient...a negroni is one of my favorite cocktails. I'm definitely gonna try making the Garibaldi.

[@mateuszwnuk-lipinski8846]

As soon as I've heard "I should done more of them" my thump went up.

[@thewerepyreking]

I had myself absolutely convinced this cocktail was sometimes called a Nord e Sud (North and South) and that some video out there goes through the history of campari in Italy. Maybe I'm crazy. Either way, nice to go back and try the simpler cocktails. Like you say in another comment, modifying it is the key for me, I had to grow accustomed to campari, and it's always freshly squeezed orange juice for me. Blood orange if it's in a jug.

[@renaudduquette7238]

Wow! Great video and that's a really Tasty highball! Just made it and I am one that absolutely loves campari and for me it is just a revelation that it can be so good an velvety by just mixing it with aerated orange juice!

[@davidcattin7006]

Pretty drink! Campari is just way too bitter. Go with Aperol and spare yourself the pain. Cheers from Indiana!

[@geoffreyk9164]

That Breville aerator is next level. I have tried to aerate with a blender and the best I can seem to get is to stick the fresh juice in the freezer for a bit to lower the viscosity and then blend it for quite a while, but I still cannot get it as “fluffy” as the version served at Dante’s (they of course have a Breville).

[@DarwinsBeerReviews]

I did the exact same when I learned about how they do it at Dante. I immediately went to show it off to my manager and staff. Great minds think alike... Delicious cocktail with this technique!

[@IverJ]

Never had one of these....this will be my after work libation today. Cheers.

[@pbr-streetgang]

Thanks for the vid sir.👍🏼👍🏼

[@tingchun6040]

First time trying this and it was a hit with my in laws. Thanks for this recipe

[@margefoyle6796]

Yes! More highballs! I will trust you and try this. Campari is the ONLY liquor that has been a hard no for me. Maybe it's time to finally get over that.

[@dragos5640]

Starting my job as bartender soon, so hyped

[@merlan35]

Love it Sir, I’m gonna try it as well

[@wineguy9017]

Hey Leandro, how about a "special" on Campari drinks for summer! Love this one.

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Yep that one is on the list for sure

[@bushwood1676]

Lovely drink

[@joe_hutnak]

3:17 Leandro, you skipped the most important part! Thanks for saving the day, Marius!

[@kw1213]

What is everyone's thoughts on layered drinks like this ? As a bartender I do like the look of it, but if i m serving a layered drink to a guest without a straw or means to stir it, that means the first couple sips ( at the very least) are going to be completely imbalanced because the different elements aren't mixed together.

[@ElMoShApPiNeSs]

Absolutely needs a straw.

[@MrChickster12]

I love Campari.......L.O.V.E. It!

[@StevetheBartender_]

Haha, unfortunate name! A local company called Garibaldi had a huge food poisoning outbreak here in Australia... (although I'm sure the cocktail came first!)...

[@ernstthalmann1262]

It is sad because Giuseppe Garibaldi himself was an active revolutionary and a defender for human rights, and now company using his name is abusing it.

[@statix6979]

Wow

[@jacquesst-pierre973]

Definetly going to try this. So you had a little trouble appreciating Campari? I must admit that I sometimes have cheated and replaced the Campari by Aperol. But not any more. I love the stuff. One thing I still have a lot of trouble with is Fernet Branca.......

[@Bostonaholic]

Damn your hair grows fast!

[@kwjames87]

Beat me to it. 🙃🙃🙃😉

[@SaroShow]

lol I'm from italy nad hearing you say: A GUY called Garibaldi make me laugh, I mean it's like if you hear me say A GUY called Thomas Jefferson :D Here Garibaldi it's a really important history figure as you said unified Italy with his 1000 soldiers, but in the south we dislike him couse it was more of a conquest of the south then a unification. Cheers ! Ps I liked the dry orange shake!

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Saro Tubex I’m also known to say “a guy called Thomas Jefferson and a guy called George Washington...” LOL

[@rlebron44]

Thanks for your videos, I learned a lot

[@jobond3317]

I just love campari. I have never tasted it as bitter. To me it's like grown-up fizzy drink. All I do is ice Campari about half fill a very tall glass and add tonic water mix drink and repeat and no it's not bitter to me

[@georginhohellas]

I hear Garibaldi and I immediately think of Chandler :)

[@BrendanCS]

I can’t stand campari, but I really want to find a decent drink that I can make to use it up, so i’ll try this

[@JosephTheBurrito]

Interesting, it’s more bitter than I imagined it would be, however I can’t explain why I like Campari, it doesn’t make sense, my pallet says something about it is off putting but I still love it.

[@francesconegri95]

Great video as usual, just a tip on italian pronunciation: the last letter in Giuseppe is pronunced similar to the "a" in the word "air"

[@drunkenmasterii3250]

Is there a version of this with soda water? Does it have a name if there's one? I feel like it's calling for bubbles.

[@RCSVirginia]

Drunken Master II I was thinking the exact same thing.

[@jayjackson5705]

Try an Americano: Campari, Sweet Vermouth and soda water.

[@huntudown4]

I really like making a spritz out of shaking dry and sweet vermouths, campari, and juice of a medium orange and pour over soda water and ice. I call it the Perfect Ghabraldi and it is wonderful.

[@drunkenmasterii3250]

Hmmadison96 it can work, I just wonder if there’s a version made with soda water, because just adding it to any drink is going to water it down. Sometimes especially for stronger drinks it doesn’t matter and it’s still really good, but I think the drink will be better if the creator of the recipe had water in mind when making it.

[@thewerepyreking]

@@drunkenmasterii3250 Maybe try Sanpellegrino's blood orange drink? I like that stuff a lot

[@TheScourgeable]

Mmm...could I swap campari for aperol if my bar doesn't serve campari?

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

TheScourgeable yep you can Aperol Is a smidge sweeter but I don’t think you’d notice too too much

[@misterturkturkle]

Rip Jerry doyle

[@bushwood1676]

I don’t mind it, Campari is a bit different but a cocktail that doesn’t taste like lime or lemon is refreshing

[@robertphilips5199]

my brother, great video. just a n.b., recently i was using what looks exactly like that peeler and as i peeled my grapefruit suddenly it gave way and sliced off a considerable portion of my pinky tip. for the love of god man be careful, i wish this pain on no one.

[@enjoiskate13579]

you should try this with egg white if you have not, real good

[@JWomack]

Maybe throw the spring from a hawthorne in there to amp up the frothy goodness!

[@frostbite4954]

Like to try that with mango juice.

[@IshmaelDoe]

sub! I like how you just put the peel back with no shit given

[@Pastroni89]

I think Leandro was afraid of the doorbell!

[@spazchicken1]

I was thinking it was named after the fish 🐟 😆

[@RussellJohnson-ux9iv]

I vote the horse neck for the next highball

[@sercox83]

I didnt know it has a name, here in Argentina its just Campari with orange hehe

[@ashlijurgensen2193]

Dude your hair grew really fast since your last video

[@noahkohn9350]

Could you use a milk frother (like an aerolatte) to aerate the OJ?

[@dkp2112]

What is the benefit to be a high ball glass to say, a pint glass?

[@bootsfree]

I always thought it was named after the fish.

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Now you know who the fish is named after, Isn't that a fun turn of events.

[@fiddler4035]

+1 for more highballs!

[@kbs5059]

can i use the technique for tequila sunrise? since both grenadine and campari are red in color

[@TriniDaChief]

Is this fresh squeezed orange juice? Or store bought which I sweetened? Thanks.

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Fresh squeezed always

[@TriniDaChief]

@@TheEducatedBarfly of course 😅

[@gojo9344]

Does the type of orange the juice comes from matter for this drink? I assume you’re using navel oranges? They seem to be the default for most cocktails.

[@adamscharenbroch8976]

Why not shake the drink beyond presentation appearance?

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

it just looks nicer like that, before drinking it should be stirred. But if you want to mix it all before service, go ahead :) present it how you like

[@antoniou5]

Will this taste good with martini rosso instead of campari?

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Could be, give it a try

[@David-mg8zu]

I think you forgot the pinch of salt 🧂

[@Xanatos712]

Huh... I thought I invented that. Or something similar at least; 1 shot of vodka & Campari in a double-rocks glass with ice and top with OJ. Call it the Bloody Screwdriver.

[@cnhoffman]

Why not dry shake with Campari? I dry shake with the Campari, add ice, shake again and strain.

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

CNHphoto no reason other than I wanted to layer the ingredients for a nice thumbnail

[@cnhoffman]
