Answer 2

It is a Gibson when you use a pearl onion instead of an olive.

6 parts gin or vodka

1/2 to 1 part vermouth depending on taste.

1 pearl onion

Add ice to your martini glass and set aside.

Add ice, vermouth* and gin/vodka to your shaker. Stir. Don't shake. Contrary to what Bond would like us to think clear liquors should always be stirred.

Dump the ice out of your glass and add the onion. Add the onion before the pour allows for the release of aromatics into the drink.

Strain your chilled martini into the glass.

Enjoy.

*Personally, I don't add the vermouth to the shaker. After dumping the ice out of the glass, I add the vermouth and swirl it to coat. Then add my garnish...then the chilled gin.

EDIT:

Sorry, just realized I said a "pearl" onion...I meant a cocktail onion...a pearl that has been brined.
