About this recipe
The Gibson (and the martini in general) is one of my favorite cocktails because the recipe and garnish can be tailored to personal tastes. Personally, I love a Gibson with a 50-50 gin to vermouth ratio and a pickled garnish from a local business, like the pickled green tomatoes from Olive My Pickle (found at a Farmers' Market near you).
Instructions
1. Add gin and vermouth to a mixing glass.
2. Fill mixing glass with ice and stir for 10-15 seconds.
3. Strain into a chilled coupe or cocktail glass.
4. Garnish with your choice of pickled vegetable.
