Plural of gibson; a type of cocktail made with gin and dry vermouth, garnished with a cocktail onion instead of an olive.
Named after the Gibson cocktail, which emerged in early 20th-century American bartending culture. The origin of the drink's name is debated, possibly named after a prominent person or establishment of the era.
The gibson is a sneaky cocktail because it's almost identical to a martini, but that single onion swap creates something that feels distinctly different—it's like how tiny changes in word spelling can completely change meaning.
