Birthdays on the Hottest Day of the Year + The Gibson

[xraytheenforcer]

Yeah, it's misunderstruck 's (Mr. X/Doug) birthday today. And it's supposed to be, like, 102F today. Good Gods, it was hot before the damned sun came up!

Happy Birthday Doug!

In honor, the recipe for Doug's favorite drink.

The Gibson
3 oz gin
1/4 oz vermouth
odd number of vermouth-infused cocktail onions where n>1

Put onions in a chilled cocktail glass. Stir other ingredients over ice. Strain into glass. Drink with flourish and then perform some rockin' air guitar for the cats.

I'm not trying to bash your taste in drinks but to this day I do not understand Gibsons. They're basically martinis with cocktail onions instead of olives and I mentally lump those who order them into the same people who order Cape Cods (vodka + cranberry) and Cuba Libres (rum & coke with a lime): people who like to flash around fancy names for no good reason and look kind of silly. What is the deal with Gibsons? Why do people order them?
