The Gibson is a nice alternative to the classic dirty martini, offering a salty and savory flavor without the traditional olive brine. This is such a beautiful and crisp drink perfect for any soiree or intimate gathering. By rinsing the martini glass with water and freezing it beforehand, you ensure a perfectly chilled drink!
