The Ideal Bartender by Tom Bullock (1917, p.50) — Bullock 1917

1 jiggerOld Tom gin — Burnette's Tom Ginbase
1 onionOnion garnish
0.5 drinkItalian vermouth — Italian Vermouthmodifier
  1. Use a large bar glass with cracked ice.
  2. Stir well, strain, and serve with an onion.

Garnish: Onion

Ice: Cracked ice

This matters because Bullock treats the onion-garnished branch as its own named drink rather than just a garnish instruction on a Gibson.

The explicit note that no bitters are used is a key identity detail and should be preserved.
