The Gibson cocktail recipe is a martini's more eccentric sibling: same base, same technique, but finished with a pickled cocktail onion rather than an olive or lemon twist. SCHOFIELD'S English Dry Vermouth brings a crisp, aromatic quality that works particularly well against the brine of the garnish.
Ingredients
- 60 ml London dry gin
- 20 ml SCHOFIELD'S English Dry Vermouth
- 1 dash dry vermouth (optional extra)
- Pickled cocktail onion (garnish)
Method
Step 1: Stir
Add gin and SCHOFIELD'S to a mixing glass with ice. Stir until thoroughly chilled.
Step 2: Strain
Strain into a chilled coupe or Martini glass.
Step 3: Garnish
Garnish with a pickled cocktail onion.
Tasting Notes
The pickled onion garnish adds a pronounced savoury-brine note that interacts brilliantly with SCHOFIELD'S dry, aromatic character. Distinctive and memorable.
