Classic cocktail with an onion garnish in a martini glass, ice-filled mixing glass, bar spoon, and a striped cloth on a wooden counter.

Named for American artist Charles Dana Gibson at the Player’s Club in New York, NY in 1940. Rumor has it the bartender ran out of olives when making a martini so he used a peal onion. The onion fast became a favorite of Mr. Gibson.
