Gibson

The onion Martini

Glass Cocktail
Method Stirred
Garnish cocktail onion

A Dry Martini in a tuxedo with one rebellious detail: the olive is swapped for a pickled cocktail onion. That single onion lends a faint savory, briny edge that sets the Gibson apart from its sibling — same austere gin-and-vermouth backbone, different finish.

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 oz Gin
  • 1/2 oz Dry Vermouth

Method

Add gin and dry vermouth to a mixing glass filled with ice. Stir for 20-30 seconds until well-chilled. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a cocktail onion.
