How to make the most delicious CUCUMBER MARTINI – easy vodka recipe – Cucumber cocktail!
Cool and refreshing this cucumber martini is bursting with cucumber flavor. To make it fresh and crunchy the cucumbers are crushed before being shaken with vodka (or gin if you prefer) and vermouth bringing out the mild melon-like flavors of the cucumber and complementing the drink beautifully.
This recipe is for one cocktail but it's easy enough to double or triple. It all depends on the size of your cocktail shaker. However it's better to mix less at a time than to make one big batch where the ingredients don't get shaken properly.
The original martini recipe is made with gin not vodka and martini purists say that a vodka “martini” is not a true martini. Vodka offers a smoother flavor while gin adds botanical flavor and complexity to a martini. Whether you make this cocktail with gin or vodka and whether you call it a martini or not it’s still delicious—and isn’t that the most important thing?
