Empirical Olive Gibson

A crisp, savory Gibson with a clean, briny finish.

Simple · 3 min

Gin and Empirical Olive share the base, with dry vermouth and a rinse of onion brine. Stirred until icy-cold and garnished with a cocktail onion, it is the martini's savory cousin, elegant and spirit-forward all year round.
