1
Prepare the Cucumber
Wash the cucumber thoroughly under cool running water. Cut off both ends and slice it into thin rounds or half-moons, depending on your preference for garnish.
2
Make Simple Syrup (if not using store-bought)
In a small saucepan, combine equal parts sugar and water (1:1 ratio). Heat gently while stirring until the sugar completely dissolves. Allow it to cool before using.
3
Mix the Drink
In a cocktail shaker, add the cucumber slices (reserve one for garnish), vodka, dry vermouth, simple syrup, fresh lime juice, and ice cubes.
4
Shake
Secure the lid on the cocktail shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds to ensure all ingredients are well mixed and chilled.
5
Strain and Serve
Using a cocktail strainer, pour the mixture into a chilled martini glass. Ensure the cucumber slices are strained out.
6
Garnish
Garnish your Cucumber Martini with a fresh cucumber slice on the rim of the glass.
7
Enjoy
Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Cucumber Martini!
