At @dearirving in New York City, they’ve been serving their take on the Gibson for over 12 years. 🍸
.
Bar Director Meaghan Dorman @gingerrickey keeps it elegant and simple, but with a detail that makes all the difference - house-made onions pickled with champagne vinegar.
.
Paired with gin and bianco vermouth, the result is a perfectly balanced Gibson that’s crisp, savoury, and timeless. A small twist on a classic that shows how much the details matter behind the bar.
.
If you find yourself in New York, this is definitely one to try.
