Drinks with dish + Liquorland: How to Mix the Classic and Gibson Martini
Photography Sarah Tuck.
According to Henry Louis Mencken, the martini is "as perfect as the sonnet" and we tend to agree. Our Editor, Sarah Tuck, demonstrates how to make the classic martini, and its San Franciscan cousin - the Gibson martini.
Half fill a stirring glass with ice then add 70ml of gin and 15ml dry vermouth.
Stir to chill then strain into a cold martini glass.
Garnish with 1 to 3 olives to serve.
To make a Gibson martini, swap out the olives for silverskin cocktail onions.

We start by sharing what’s on the dish team’s radar, what we’re watching, listening to and reading. Harry Butterfield puts a twist on his Nonna’s agnolotti, Malissa Fedele reminds us of the importance of fibre, and Phoebe Holden fulfils a long-held dream, sitting down with Yotam Ottolenghi. Autumn is an abundant time, we make the most with pumpkin, kūmara, cabbage, cauliflower, feijoas, apples and pears. We’re dishing up dinners for two, including a Chicken Dumpling Lasagne, alongside easy weeknight meals. We honour our mums, revisit timeless classics, and add a little baking challenge. This issue, we encourage you to slow down, to enjoy writing your shopping list, and spending time in the kitchen. Because even when life feels relentless, there’s always space to share something delicious.
