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.

PICKLED COCKTAIL ONIONS
This flavorsome - and relatively fast - recipe comes from Los Angeles-based bartender Gabriella Mlynarczyk. Pickled onions are the classic garnish for the Gibson cocktail, but if you love these briny, crunchy, little alliums as much as I do, you might find yourself tossing them into your gin and tonics and vodka and sodas, too (and adding them to cornichons and mustard as accoutrements for pâté).

- Stir together until sugar and salt dissolve before using. Add onions, brine and 2 tablespoons of pickling-spice blend to a heavy-bottomed pan. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat immediately. Pour onions and liquid into a sterilized Mason jar. Cover and store at room temperature for two days before using. Refrigerate after opening.
