Stir till preferred dilution then strain into an ice cold “V” shaped glassįinish of by dropping in a pickled onion and enjoy! Pour the gin and dry vermouth into a large mixing glass filled to the top with ice. ![]() It worked and soon everyone was asking for one of “Gibson’s Martinis” Hence… The Gibson Martini. In the early 20th century, graphic artist Charles Dana Gibson is said to have requested a pickled onion twist on the Martini while visiting a New York private social club “ The Players” in order to stand out and differentiate himself from everyone else drinking Martini’s. Its simple, easy to remember and makes a lot of sense. It seems there are many stories about who should be credited with the creation of the Gibson Martini but below is the story I choose to believe. Its been enjoyed and abused for years upon years. What you’ve got to remember is these classic cocktails have been around for a very long time! The cocktail wasn’t invented by the Queens Gambit. Now, like many many many other cocktails, finding an exact history is difficult. I do love a good cocktail history lesson after all! The Gibson Martini is the chosen cocktail of main character Beth and her on-screen adopted mother in The Queens Gambit.īeth is first introduced to the cocktail whilst on a flight, when her adopted mother is seen drinking one and Beth asks “is that a martini?” to which her mother responds “A Gibson, I find the onion more refined than the olive” Brief history on the Gibson Martiniīefore we get to the recipe lets just very briefly cover the history on this cocktail.

What is the Queen’s Gambit Cocktail? ![]() Sure, the queens gambit hype is dying off now and truth be told if I was going to do a recipe post dedicated to it then I probably should of done it maybe 4-5 weeks ago. It’s everywhere! Every time I get it out my head I read something or see something about it 5 minutes later. ![]() And then this, the third and final time is where I figured I would just share with you the written recipe.Ĭan you blame me for all the Queens Gambit content? This is Netflix’s most streamed show, being watched by over 62 million households. The second was when I made a video posted on Youtube on how to make the Queens Gambit Gibson Martini, found here. I promise, this is the final time! The first was when I wrote my recent article on cocktail recipes from movies and T.V which you can find here. Okay, so this is 3rd time I’m mentioning the Queens Gambit this week.
