Gibson (cocktail)
The Gibson is a mixed drink made with gin and dry vermouth, and often Cocktail garnish, garnished with a pickled onion. In its modern incarnation, it is considered a cousin of the ubiquitous martini (cocktail), martini, distinguished mostly by garnishing with an onion instead of an olive. But the earliest recipes for a Gibson – including the first known recipe The World's Drinks and How to Mix Them, published in 1908 – are differentiated more by how they treat the addition of bitters. Other pre-Prohibition in the United States, Prohibition recipes all omit bitters and none of them garnish with an onion. Some garnish with citrus twists. Others use no garniture at all. There is no known recipe for the Gibson garnished with an onion before William Boothby's 1908 Gibson Recipe. History The exact origin of the Gibson is unclear, with numerous popular tales and theories about its genesis. According to one theory, it was invented by Charles Dana Gibson, who created the popular Gibs ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
