Fancy Gibson
This sophisticated hybrid brings the savory depth of olive brine and the rich, nutty notes of Sherry together with dry vermouth for the ultimate savory martini.
Ingredients
2 oz Vodka
0.25 oz Sherry (Fino or Manzanilla work beautifully)
0.25 oz Carpano Dry Vermouth
0.25 oz Olive Brine
Method
Chill: Pre-chill your martini glass by filling it with ice and water while you build the drink.
Stir: Combine the vodka, sherry, dry vermouth, and olive brine in a mixing glass. Fill the glass 3/4 full with clean, solid ice cubes.
Equilibrium: Stir smoothly for 20–30 seconds. You want the drink crystal clear, bone-chilled, and properly diluted.
Serve: Empty the ice from your martini glass. Strain the cocktail into the chilled glass.
Garnish: Garnish with a cocktail onion and a green olive to honor both sides of this savory classic.
