Bright, bittersweet, and juicy. Fresh orange leads, Campari's bitterness keeps the sweetness in check, and the fluffed texture makes it feel far more luxurious than two ingredients should.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 oz Campari
  • 4 oz Fresh Orange Juice
  • Orange slice · optional garnish

Method

  1. 1

    Add the Campari to a highball glass filled with ice.

  2. 2

    "Fluff" the fresh orange juice — whip or aerate it until light and frothy — then pour it over the top.

  3. 3

    Garnish with an orange slice.

The Story

Named for Giuseppe Garibaldi, the general who unified Italy, the drink is a fitting metaphor: it joins the bitter north (Campari, from Milan) with the sweet south (oranges, from Sicily). It became a modern icon at New York's Dante, where bartender Naren Young served it with juice "fluffed" on a spinning agitator, giving the humble two-ingredient cooler a signature airy, almost creamy head.
