About the Garibaldi
Named after Giuseppe Garibaldi, the hero of Italian unification. The orange juice is said to represent the south of Italy and the Campari from Milan the north. Bartender Naren Young made the "fluffy" orange juice version famous at Dante in New York.
The aperitivo family. Italian aperitivo culture grew up in the cafés of Milan and Turin in the 1800s. Sweet vermouth was created in Turin in 1786 and Gaspare Campari opened his café in 1860. Bitter drinks like the Americano and the Negroni were made to sharpen the appetite before dinner, so they balance bitter and sweet and stay moderate in strength.
