Junipero Gibson With Pickled Red Onion

Ingredients

• ½ red onion, very thinly sliced into ribbons
• Kosher salt
• ¼ cup red wine vinegar
• Dry vermouth
• 16 ounces Junipero gin

4 cocktails

Preparation

1. Place onion in a bowl, and season with salt. Let sit for 10 minutes. Sprinkle vinegar on top, and let sit 10 minutes more.
2. Chill 4 martini glasses in freezer. Fill a spray bottle with 1/4-inch vermouth, and spray the inside of each glass. Or pour a little vermouth in each glass, swirl it, then pour it out, so glass is just lightly coated.
3. Place 3 or 4 pieces of onion in each glass (reserve remaining onion for drinks on another day). Fill a large cocktail shaker with ice, and pour gin over it. Shake vigorously. Strain into glasses. Serve.
