Which one is better? Which one is more sophisticated? And why does the Gibson get its own name when technically it\u2019s still just a Martini? To answer all these questions, we must do a deep dive into the Martini glass to learn about each ingredient and what they bring to the flavour party.

At its core, it\u2019s a cocktail with just a handful of ingredients but don\u2019t let the simplicity fool you. Martini drinkers are some of the most specific patrons in the world. Just look at James Bond\u2019s <a class=\"Hyperlink SCXW110518005 BCX0\" href=\"https:\/\/www.themixer.com\/en-uk\/recipes\/vesper-martini\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span class=\"TextRun Underlined SCXW110518005 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-GB\" xml:lang=\"EN-GB\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW110518005 BCX0\" data-ccp-charstyle=\"Hyperlink\">Vesper Martini<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u00a0order from <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"none\">Casino Royale<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u2014 three measures of gin, one of vodka, half a measure of aromatised wine aperitif\u00a0shaken over ice and garnished with a lemon peel.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">It\u2019s the specificity of the order ratios that makes the Martini unique. A classic dry Martini is gin and dry vermouth but within those two ingredients lies a vast range of flavour options. Gin\u2019s flavour comes from the botanicals that are infused into it. This can range from sweet, spicy or herbaceous to floral, fruity and even dried fruit flavours. And then there\u2018s the dry part. Just exactly how dry do you want your Martini to be and what does that even mean?\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themixer.com\/en-uk\/learn\/what-is-vermouth\/\">Vermouth<\/a> is a French bitter-sweet, fortified wine that adds the dry element to the Martini. The less vermouth, the drier the Martini and conversely, the more vermouth, the wetter a Martini becomes. Just like gin, the flavour of vermouth varies from brand to brand due to the botanicals used to infuse them.\u00a0So experiment with a few and find one that suits your taste.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">In Mr Bond\u2019s case, he completely threw the rule book out the window and ordered a gin and vodka mix. He also replaced the vermouth with an equally bitter-sweet counterpart in the aromatised wine aperitif. It\u2019s his unique order that makes this a Vesper Martini but sometimes all you need is a different garnish to change a Martini\u2019s profile.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">The classic dry Martini is served with a lemon twist. The lemon is squeezed over the glass to release the oils and then it\u2019s run around the rim to impart a citrus zing. The lemon flavour enlivens the botanicals in the Martini and provides a refreshing hit of citrus for balance. If you prefer your Martini with even more kick then opt for a green olive garnish. The briny bite and earthy flavour of the olive enhance the bitter edge of the botanicals. The famous <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themixer.com\/en-uk\/recipes\/dirty-martini\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Dirty Martini<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\"> goes a step further and adds equal parts olive brine to dry vermouth.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Now that we\u2019ve covered the <a class=\"Hyperlink SCXW54584375 BCX0\" href=\"https:\/\/www.themixer.com\/en-uk\/learn\/types-of-martinis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span class=\"TextRun Underlined SCXW54584375 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-GB\" xml:lang=\"EN-GB\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW54584375 BCX0\" data-ccp-charstyle=\"Hyperlink\">Martini<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\"> bases, we can go back to the Gibson vs Martini debate. Essentially a Gibson is just a regular old dry Martini but instead of a lemon twist or olive, it\u2019s garnished with a skewer of two cocktail onions. It sounds like such a simple thing, and it is, but like every aspect of the Martini, it makes a big difference.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">You might also like: <\/span><\/b><a class=\"Hyperlink SCXW252066485 BCX0\" href=\"https:\/\/www.themixer.com\/en-uk\/learn\/what-is-vermouth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span class=\"TextRun Underlined SCXW252066485 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-GB\" xml:lang=\"EN-GB\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW252066485 BCX0\" data-ccp-charstyle=\"Hyperlink\">Everything You Need to Know About Vermouth.<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Gibson<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3283 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themixer.com\/en-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/296.-Gibson-Cocktail_Canva_estefaniavizcaino-1024x512.jpg\" alt=\"Gibson Martini with skewered cocktail onion garnish\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themixer.com\/en-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/296.-Gibson-Cocktail_Canva_estefaniavizcaino-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.themixer.com\/en-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/296.-Gibson-Cocktail_Canva_estefaniavizcaino-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.themixer.com\/en-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/296.-Gibson-Cocktail_Canva_estefaniavizcaino-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.themixer.com\/en-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/296.-Gibson-Cocktail_Canva_estefaniavizcaino-1536x768.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.themixer.com\/en-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/296.-Gibson-Cocktail_Canva_estefaniavizcaino-1480x740.jpg 1480w, https:\/\/www.themixer.com\/en-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/296.-Gibson-Cocktail_Canva_estefaniavizcaino-760x380.jpg 760w, https:\/\/www.themixer.com\/en-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/296.-Gibson-Cocktail_Canva_estefaniavizcaino.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 100vw, 532px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">The <a class=\"Hyperlink SCXW80019819 BCX0\" href=\"https:\/\/www.themixer.com\/en-uk\/recipes\/gibson-cocktail\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span class=\"TextRun Underlined SCXW80019819 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-GB\" xml:lang=\"EN-GB\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW80019819 BCX0\" data-ccp-charstyle=\"Hyperlink\">Gibson Martini<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\"> has been around since the late 1800s, when businessman, Walter D.K Gibson started putting them into his gin Martini. He believed that eating onions prevented colds and we guess he had to find a more palatable way to get them down. More recently, the Gibson shot into the limelight once again when it featured in <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"none\">The Queen\u2019s Gambit<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"none\"> on Netflix. It was the cocktail of choice for the chess prodigy protagonist,<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\"> Elizabeth Harmon. Throughout the series, she single-handedly put the cocktail onion back in vogue. Suddenly, bars all over the world were serving this classic cocktail, and drinkers were wondering where it had been all their lives.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">The funny thing is the Gibson has always been here. It almost feels as if it&#8217;s been lying patiently in wait for its chance to supplant its briny brother the olive. And what makes a pickled cocktail onion so special, I hear you ask? Well, like everything Martini we\u2019ve discussed so far, the answer is layered just like an onion.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Apart from being a tasty bar snack, a cocktail onion is naturally sweet with a subtle onion flavour. They are crisp and earthy and if you make them yourself, you can infuse them with citrus, herbs or even chilli. They add an umami edge to the botanicals of the Martini and the best part is you get two to munch on as you sip your drink.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>DIY cocktail onions<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4194 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themixer.com\/en-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/11\/386.-Gibson-vs-Martini_Cocktail-Onions_Canva_bhofack2-1024x512.jpg\" alt=\"A bowl of white cocktail onions\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themixer.com\/en-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/11\/386.-Gibson-vs-Martini_Cocktail-Onions_Canva_bhofack2-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.themixer.com\/en-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/11\/386.-Gibson-vs-Martini_Cocktail-Onions_Canva_bhofack2-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.themixer.com\/en-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/11\/386.-Gibson-vs-Martini_Cocktail-Onions_Canva_bhofack2-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.themixer.com\/en-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/11\/386.-Gibson-vs-Martini_Cocktail-Onions_Canva_bhofack2-1536x768.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.themixer.com\/en-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/11\/386.-Gibson-vs-Martini_Cocktail-Onions_Canva_bhofack2-1480x740.jpg 1480w, https:\/\/www.themixer.com\/en-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/11\/386.-Gibson-vs-Martini_Cocktail-Onions_Canva_bhofack2-760x380.jpg 760w, https:\/\/www.themixer.com\/en-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/11\/386.-Gibson-vs-Martini_Cocktail-Onions_Canva_bhofack2.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 100vw, 532px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Can\u2019t find a cocktail onion to suit your taste?
