There is a variety of small white pickled onions known as ‘silverskin’ onions\, due to imperfections they are pickled instead of being wasted. They are frequently used as an essential component of the Martini cocktail variant known as a Gibson. \nPickled onions are usually pickled in malt vinegar and the onions are about 25 mm (1 inch) in diameter. Silverskin onions are pickled in white vinegar and are much smaller. Full-sized onions\, e.g. Spanish Onions\, can be pickled if sliced first.
