Traditionally, a Garibaldi is made with Campari and fresh orange juice, but adding pineapple juice gives it a sunny, tropical flavor that’s perfect for summer sipping. We love how the pineapple juice adds a touch of sweetness that perfectly balances the bold bitterness of the Campari.
What is Campari?
Campari is a bright red Italian aperitif known for its bold, bitter flavor. Made from a secret blend of herbs, spices, and fruit, it’s typically used in classic cocktails like the Negroni and the Garibaldi.
With notes of orange peel, cherry, and spices, Campari adds depth and complexity to drinks—especially when balanced with something sweet or citrusy. It’s lower in alcohol than spirits like vodka or whiskey, making it ideal for lighter, refreshing cocktails.
Whether you’re hosting brunch, lounging by the pool, or simply craving something easy and refreshing, this cocktail is sure to impress with minimal effort.
