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.

Steps:
- Start by making the garnish by charring the onions in a hot non-stick frying pan to obtain colour (about 4-5mins) then set aside to cool.
- Pour all of the ingredients into a mixing glass or jug, add cubed ice and stir for around 30 seconds to achieve the desired dilution. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass, or for extra flair pour it into a small glass bottle and sit it in an ice-filled tumbler to act as a mini ice bucket. Serve with a small liqueur or port glass on the side to pour it into.
- Thread the cooled onions onto a cocktail stick and use to garnish the drink.
