Review:

A fabulous brunch cocktail.

How you squeeze (and blend) your oranges is key to achieving the "fluffy" orange juice that makes this drink special. At New York City's Dante (World's Best Bar 2019) they famously use a high-speed Breville juicer which aerates the juice. Alternatively, juicing with a pillar or elbow press adds bitter zesty oils from the skin to the juice, hence our use of a smidgen of sugar syrup to balance.

History:

Named after the famous revolutionary general who helped liberate and reunify Italy, the Garibaldi appears on cocktail lists throughout Italy. This little-known classic was brilliantly revitalised by Naren Young for the re-launch of New York City's Dante in October 2015 and remains a must-try cocktail at this World's 50 Best Best Bar.
