This is named after the incomparable Italian general, Giuseppe Garibaldi. Like the Negroni, this is another, though simpler, cocktail made from Campari, this time with only orange juice added. The typical proportion is 1½ ounces of Campari to 4 ounces of orange juice, then topped with an orange slice.
Willie Smith’s of Tasmania makes a wide range of ciders, both pure apple as well as flavored. I bought this thinking it was a cider, but it is a cocktail which is a combination of distilled apple spirits and ginger beer, with added lime zest. 6.0% ABV. My rating - not good - 4/10.
I don’t know the proper name of this drink but it tasted great. I tried it in a tiny bar in Taipei during a nightime food tour in the Guangzhou Street Night Market (near the Longshan Temple). The bartender told me the ingredients but not the proportions: gin, Cointreau, lemon juice and sugar syrup. Tart and very lemony. I’ll try to duplicate at home. On a web search I discovered that it is probably a variation on the White Lady cocktail which contains gin, Cointreau and lemon juice..
I had the best Negroni ever at the Hotel Plaza San Francisco in Santiago, Chile. It is made with Campari, their own "home made" vermouth and El Viaje, a Chilean gin.
I first tried this at a bar in Luxembourg. I believe they used the standard recipe (as below) that uses grapefruit soda. I don't know what brand, but cosidering the quality of the bar and the taste of the drink it may have been Fever Tree. I would try fresh grapefruit juice or a mixture with the grapefruit soda. I would also look at adding a little grapefruit liqueur such as Giffard, which is one of the best.

Steps
I would use a high quality brand of grapefruit soda like Fever Tree. Other brands Jarritos from Mexico and Wink which is a popular domestic brand. Do not use Ting, the Jamaican grapefruit soda.
I made my own version at home that is a bit different but very nice:
