Gibson Martini

By Neil Buttery

You can use vodka or gin for this cocktail – or a 50-50 mix. It’s a delicious savoury cocktail with a touch of sharp sweetness. Once you’re over the shock of the first one, you’ll be quickly making a second.

It’s important to get the ingredients and your martini glass good and cold before you make the drink.

For one cocktail you will need:

• 6 pickled cocktail onions + a dash of the pickling liquor

• Plenty of ice

• 2 ½ shots gin or vodka

• ½ shot dry Vermouth

1. Spoon the onions and liquor into your glass.

2. Half fill a cocktail shaker with ice and add the alcohols. Stir for 30 seconds and strain into the chilled glass. Drink whilst it is still very cold.
