Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium cucumber
- 2 ounces vodka
- 0.5 ounces dry vermouth
- 0.75 ounces simple syrup
- 0.5 ounces fresh lime juice
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 3 slices cucumber slices for garnish
Instructions
Peel the cucumber, then slice it into thin rounds. Reserve 3 slices for garnish and place the rest into a cocktail shaker.
Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, thoroughly muddle the cucumber in the shaker to release its juices and flavor.
Add 2 ounces of vodka, 0.5 ounces of dry vermouth, 0.75 ounces of simple syrup, and 0.5 ounces of fresh lime juice to the shaker.
Fill the shaker with 1 cup of ice cubes and place the lid securely on top.
Shake vigorously for about 20-30 seconds to chill the ingredients and blend the flavors.
Strain the mixture into a chilled martini glass, using a fine-mesh strainer to catch the cucumber pulp.
Garnish the martini with the reserved cucumber slices by placing them on the rim or floating them on top of the drink.
Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing cucumber martini.
