Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a cocktail shaker, combine 2.5 oz gin, 0.5 oz dry vermouth, and 0.25 oz olive brine. Add 2 ice cubes and shake firmly for 15 seconds until the shaker feels cold and the mixture is well-chilled.
  2. Step 2: Strain the liquid into a chilled coupe glass through a fine-mesh strainer to remove ice shards. Gently drop 2 pickled pearl onions into the glass, arranging them on the rim for visual appeal.
