FLUFFY COCKTAILS

PERFECT GARIBALDI

The Garibaldi is a classic aperi- tivo. In it, freshly squeezed orange juice and Campari add up to a sum that’s greater than its parts. It was arguably perfected in New York City’s Dante café, a 105-year-old institution that was named World’s Best Bar in 2019. Their secret is fluffy aerated orange juice achieved with a high-pressure juicer. A similar effect can be produced at home using a high-speed blender. A little Grand Marnier amplifies the orange flavour here. Store- bought pasteurized orange juice is bitter—the delicacy of freshly squeezed juice is best. 1 Squeeze the juice from 2 large oranges and fine-strain into a high-speed blender. 2 Add 2 ice cubes to each of 2 Collins glasses. Pour 1 ⁄ oz Campari ( LCBO 277954, $29.95) and ⁄ oz Grand Marnier ( LCBO 1784, $49.95) into each glass. 3 Blend orange juice at medium- high speed in a high-speed blender (or high speed in a regu- lar blender) until light and frothy, about 30 seconds. Add frothy orange juice to each glass until about three-quarters full and stir to combine. Add another ice cube to each glass, top with more frothy juice, and garnish each with an orange wedge.
