Looking for a special savory mixed drink to impress your guests with? Then this delicious Gibson Cocktail is for you!

Pickled Red Onion Martini

| Ted’s Takover Recipe: The Gibson Cocktail | Hi, I’m Catherine’s husband Ted and I’m taking over the blog once a month to share my healthy grain-free recipes and cocktails! You can read more about my story here. Onto the recipe! I’ve never actually been a huge fan of traditional martinis, I recall my reluctance to even accept one years ago at a dinner party. Little did I know at the time the variations and possibilities the drink offered!

Pickled Red Onion Gibson Martini

Once I started pickling red onions (find that recipe here) it occurred to me that I could make onion martinis for guests with pickling juice in the same vein of a dirty martini. I had no clue that this concoction was actually technically considered a “Gibson” I also had no clue how much I’d enjoy the drink myself!

Gibson

This is definitely a cooler weather cocktail-perfect for the coming months. It pairs beautifully with Catherine’s Low-Carb Cheese Crackers as well as some cornichons–you could also include a cornichon in the Gibson as an added garnish. Enjoy the cocktails!
