Instructions
- Use a vegetable peeler to get a few thin slices of cucumber. Just run it down the side of the cucumber, discard the first slice or two, you don't want that much peel. Set aside for garnish.
- Cut the remaining cucumber into ¼ inch slices, you'll need 4-6 for the cocktail. Add the cucumber slices to a glass.
- Pour vermouth into the glass and muddle the cucumbers. Transfer everything and add the gin to a cocktail shaker and add a handful of ice.
- Shake or stir then strain the cocktail into martini glass.
Notes
- To make the drink even colder, you can chill your martini glasses in the freezer beforehand.
- Feel free to add more or less gin to make the cocktail as strong as you prefer.
- Don’t have a cocktail shaker? You can use a mason jar or any jar with a tight-fitting lid then strain through a mesh strainer.
- Try adding some green herbs for a bit of fresh mint, basil, or thyme for an extra botanical note!
- For added sweetness try adding an ounce of St. Germaine, or simple syrup.
- Citrus goes really well with cucumber so if you don’t want to use a cucumber as a garnish, you can use a lemon or lime twist!
