All of the people agree that Olives are usually the top of the martini garnish list with capers and cocktail onions close behind.
Martinis typically have stuffed olives, regular or various variations for garnishes. Garlic, mushroom, peppers, cheese, pimento and anchovies have all found their way inside the martini olive.
Capers, a typical ingredient in Mediterranean cuisine, usually come pickled or salted. The Gibson, is a popular martini variation that uses cocktail onions.
Vegetables like pickled or sun-dried tomatoes often find their way into a martini. Countless vegetable combinations include a gin salad, which adds three olives and two cocktail onions as garnish to a regular martini.
Herbs and almonds
Bright colored garnishes like lemons and mints add more flavor while adding aesthetic value as well.
