THE GIBSON

As with many classic cocktails, numerous origin stories have attached themselves to The Gibson like barnacles, and the truth is uncertain. One thing is clear, however: the pickled onion hasn't always been part of the Gibson legend. The recipe in my 1933 edition of The Savoy Cocktail Book is essentially a formula for what many would call a 50/50 martini - half gin, half dry vermouth, with a faint spritz of lemon essence. Nonetheless, we now tend to regard The Gibson as a martini in which a cocktail onion is swapped in for the usual olive - and that's the version of the story I'm sticking with in this recipe. Play with the proportions to your taste, but, as usual, I recommend that you don't stint on the vermouth.

PICKLED COCKTAIL ONIONS

This flavorsome - and relatively fast - recipe comes from Los Angeles-based bartender Gabriella Mlynarczyk. Pickled onions are the classic garnish for the Gibson cocktail, but if you love these briny, crunchy, little alliums as much as I do, you might find yourself tossing them into your gin and tonics and vodka and sodas, too (and adding them to cornichons and mustard as accoutrements for pâté).

Steps:

  • Stir together until sugar and salt dissolve before using. Add onions, brine and 2 tablespoons of pickling-spice blend to a heavy-bottomed pan. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat immediately. Pour onions and liquid into a sterilized Mason jar. Cover and store at room temperature for two days before using. Refrigerate after opening.

  • Whisk apple cider vinegar, red wine vinegar, rice vinegar, white wine vinegar, sugar, salt, peppercorns, coriander seeds, juniper berries, red pepper flakes, garlic, bay leaf, and 1¼ cups water in a medium bowl until salt and sugar dissolve. Pour brine into an airtight nonreactive container and add onions. Cover and chill at least 1 week. Flavors will deepen the longer the onions sit; the liquid starts getting really delicious after 1 month.
  • For each cocktail, pour 2 oz. gin, ½ oz. blanc vermouth, ½ oz. dry vermouth, and ¼ oz. onion pickling liquid over 4 cups ice in a large measuring or stirring glass and stir 1 minute. (Yes, a full minute. This dilution is key to rounding out the flavors of the finished drink.) Strain into a martini glass and garnish with a pickled onion.
