Our Story

Gibson

Name: Gibson
Prep time: 20 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 50 min
Yield: 10
Ingredients: 2 oz. Uncle Val's gin; 1 oz. dry vermouth; 2 cocktail onions infused dry vermouth

The difference between a Gibson cocktail and a gin martini is the garnish. Both drinks are made with gin and dry vermouth, but instead of the martini's olive or lemon twist, the Gibson is garnished with a cocktail onion. This simple change gives the drink a different undertone, transforming it from a briny olive to an earthy, light onion flavor. It's fascinating, and you may just prefer this cocktail over the martini.
