PICKLED COCKTAIL ONIONS

Pickled Cocktail Onions image

This flavorsome - and relatively fast - recipe comes from Los Angeles-based bartender Gabriella Mlynarczyk. Pickled onions are the classic garnish for the Gibson cocktail, but if you love these briny, crunchy, little alliums as much as I do, you might find yourself tossing them into your gin and tonics and vodka and sodas, too (and adding them to cornichons and mustard as accoutrements for pâté).

Tips

Vinegar is the backbone of any good pickle. Use a high-quality vinegar, such as apple cider vinegar or white vinegar.
The type of sugar you use will affect the flavor of the pickles. Brown sugar will give them a more complex flavor, while white sugar will make them sweeter.
Spices are a great way to add flavor to pickles. Some common spices used in pickling include mustard seeds, dill seeds, cloves, and peppercorns.
Time is an important factor in pickling. The longer the pickles soak in the brine, the more flavorful they will be. However, be careful not to over-pickle them, or they will become too sour.
Canning is a great way to preserve pickles so that you can enjoy them all year long. However, it is important to follow the canning instructions carefully to ensure that the pickles are safe to eat.

Conclusion

Pickles are a delicious and versatile food that can be enjoyed in many different ways. They can be eaten as a snack, used as a condiment, or added to salads and sandwiches. With so many different recipes to choose from, there is sure to be a pickle recipe that everyone will enjoy.
