Description

Transform your Gibson cocktail with this unique garnish of pickled cherry tomatoes and pearl onions, infused with aromatic tarragon and pink peppercorns.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • Enough cherry tomatoes to fill a pint jar
  • Enough peeled pearl onions to fill a pint jar
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 2 sprigs tarragon
  • 8-10 pink peppercorns
  • 1 cup cider vinegar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 tablespoon pickling salt

Instructions

  1. Place the bay leaf, tarragon, and pink peppercorns into a clean pint jar.
  2. Gently pack the jar with cherry tomatoes and peeled pearl onions, ensuring they are snug but not crushed.
  3. In a saucepan, combine the cider vinegar, water, and pickling salt. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the salt is completely dissolved.
  4. Pour the hot brine over the tomatoes and onions in the jar, ensuring they are fully submerged.
  5. Seal the jar with a lid and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate the jar for at least 24 hours before using the garnish in your Gibson cocktail.

Notes

Store the pickled garnish in the refrigerator for up to a month. Use a high-quality gin like Hendrick’s for the best flavor. The pickled garnish can also be used in other cocktails or as a unique addition to charcuterie boards.
