Bright coral, with a soft cap of foam that comes from orange juice whipped full of air. Campari's bitterness and the sweetness of fresh oranges meet halfway, and the texture is almost like a juice smoothie.

Garibaldi
Bitter orange and gentian from the Campari against juicy sweet orange, with a soft, airy texture. Light in alcohol.
The drink is named after Giuseppe Garibaldi, the general who led key campaigns in the unification of Italy in the 19th century. The usual explanation of the name is symbolic: Campari, from Milan in the north, meets oranges from the south, especially Sicily, where Garibaldi's famous expedition landed.
Campari with orange juice has long been a simple Italian bar order, often called Campari Orange. Its modern reputation owes much to the "fluffy" version, in which the juice is aerated in a high-speed juicer or blender before pouring. The IBA lists the Garibaldi among its New Era Drinks.
Fresh juice whipped with air, usually in a blender, until it becomes light and foamy.
After Giuseppe Garibaldi. Campari from the north and oranges from the south are said to stand for Italian unification.
Light. Campari has about 25% ABV, and with twice the amount of juice the drink ends up around 8% ABV.
The perfect sound
Bitter orange and Milanese elegance.
