Gibson
Cocktail History
The Gibson cocktail is a classic that has been around since the 1900s. It was a favorite among certain circles of bar goers and cocktail sippers, made with either vodka or gin, and usually featuring an accompanying pearl onion as its defining garnish. It’s hard to know how the Gibson came into existence, but since Gibson was an artist who flourished during the same time period as when Gibson cocktails were popularized, there is some speculation about what inspired it. Over time, this delectable mixer has become a sought-after drink by many people looking for something truly distinct. Its easy recipe and compelling story make Gibson cocktails perfect for anyone looking to sip on something special!
