What makes the Gibson Martini different from a regular Martini?
There are so many martini recipes that exist that it can be hard to know the differences between them.
Usually a different cocktail has different ingredients in the build, but the surprising thing about the Gibson Martini is the only real difference with this cocktail is the garnish
The Gibson Martini is signified by the use of a cocktail onion as its garnish, and that’s literally it. The cocktail still follows the same standard build of a martini but the onion gives the cocktail a unique savory flavor.
That’s the only difference with the Gibson Martini, so let’s make it!
