The Gibson and the Gin Martini
An ice-cold, top-shelf gin and a whisper of dry vermouth garnished with 4 pickled onions. I love both the Gibson Martini and the traditional Dry Gin Martini, although the difference is minor. My recipe for the Dry Gin Martini has the addition of 4 drops of orange bitters added to the mix and is garnished with olives and a lemon twist, the Gibson Martini is simply the gin and vermouth with pickled onions, no orange bitters.
