Few drinks are easier and few look better: Campari's deep red swirling into bright orange juice. Fresh juice turns the bitterness soft and fruity, making this one of the friendliest ways into Italian bitters.

Campari Orange
Juicy sweet orange first, then Campari's bitter orange peel and herbs. Light, fruity and low in alcohol.
In Italy the drink is called Garibaldi, after Giuseppe Garibaldi, the general of Italian unification. The usual explanation is symbolic: Campari from Milan in the north meets oranges from Sicily and the south, and the red recalls the red shirts worn by Garibaldi's volunteers.
Campari itself was created by Gaspare Campari in the 1860s and has been served as an aperitivo with soda or juice ever since. In German-speaking countries the drink is simply ordered as Campari Orange. Its modern revival owes a lot to bartenders who use freshly squeezed juice aerated at high-speed, a style the New York bar Dante made famous as the Fluffy Garibaldi.
Yes. Garibaldi is the Italian name for Campari with orange juice.
With 40 ml Campari and 120 ml juice it has about 5 to 6% ABV.
A quick stir mixes it evenly. Pour the Campari last and slowly if you want a red layer at the bottom for show.
