The Gibson is a minimalist masterpiece with a savory twist. A close cousin of the classic Martini, it swaps the usual olive or lemon twist garnish for something a little more unexpected: a pickled cocktail onion. Made with gin (or vodka) and dry vermouth, the Gibson is crisp, dry, and delightfully briny, with that subtle allium edge giving it an extra layer of intrigue. It’s the cocktail equivalent of a raised eyebrow—understated, stylish, and just a little mysterious.
