Yummy Yummy in my Tummy
This is not, I repeat NOT, just a slightly different version of a martini with a different garnish. OK, maybe it kind of sort of is, but it’s delicious.
Onion Gibson
- 2 1/2 parts vodka
- 3/4 part dry vermouth
- cocktail onion
Pour liquors into a shaker filled with ice and give it a good shake. Strain into a martini glass and garnish with a cocktail onion or one of those fancy ones from the olive bar, or maybe two. Drink the drink. Eat the onion.
True Story: This drink is named for Antonio Sebastini Julio Gibson III who discovered the 137th element on the periodic table called Gibsoniadium.
Another True Story: We were both liberal arts majors.
Your posts leave me giggling out loud. And anything with an onion would be delicious ! Cheers to Mr Gibson !
I’ve fallen off too many bar stools to start drinking Martinis again – although I did love them:)
I’m not a huge fan of that much vermouth but I’d give it a try just to be polite. Years and years ago I had a bad experience with gin Martinis and onions, so its put me off (I think perhaps one if the onions had gone bad in the massive three Martinis I had that night, because I was wrecked the next day
! )
It’s always the onions!
Onions? Onions? Gah! =D
We forgot the garnish… mustard!
Nothing like a little chemistry to get my day going…
Fabulous – I could do with one right now!
Love it! I bet it would be delish with gin as well!
I could probably survive one and still stand
Love a good gibson – also love a gimlet (with a lemon garnish) as well . . . .
I have to confess that I prefer a martini, but this is a classic
This is one I must try! Hope you both are doing well!
I know it only mid-day on a Thursday, but I would be much happier (stressful kind of day hurrying around to get lots done) if I had your onion gimlet for lunch…after all it has a vegetable in it…right?
Very refreshing.
We put two in!
Hope you realize that you are one of the caterers at my blog celebration party on Saturday.
One of my best friend’s surname is Gibson, and you can bet I’m going to tell her about this cocktail! And I’m going to tell her the history too!
I love this photo! So still and pretty.
Cheers to Liberal Arts majors.
Now this is something different!
So tasty looking! Thanks for posting.
Love martinis – but the onions I”m not sure of. I do however think that photo is fantastic!
Excellent photo and cocktail! What i don’t drink with gin I more than make up with vodka.
