Gibson
Martini Glass
Shaker Tin
Ice
Gin 1 1/2 oz
Dry Vermouth 1/2 oz
Bitters dash
Cocktail Onion
Add ice, gin, and vermouth to shaker tin. Stir for roughly 30 seconds and strain into a martini glass. Add a dash of bitters and one cocktail onion.
The only difference between a Gibson and the classic Martini is the cocktail onion. That's all!
How does adding a cocktail onion instead of an olive change the taste? I have no idea but Gibson drinkers insist that it does. Personally, I'll stick to beer and leave my onions on my burger.
