Cucumber Martini Recipes

Steps:

• Mix gin and thick cucumber slices in pitcher. Cover and chill overnight or up to 3 days.
• Strain gin, discarding thick cucumber slices. Pour half of gin into cocktail shaker. Add 1 tablespoon vermouth, then fill shaker with ice. Shake vigorously; strain into three glasses. Repeat with remaining gin and vermouth.
• Garnish with thin cucumber slices.

Steps:

• Slice 4 very thin slices from the cucumber, then peel, seed and coarsely chop the rest. Combine the lime juice, chopped cucumber, some Simple Syrup and 2 cups cold water in a blender and blend until smooth. Pour into a pitcher and stir in the lime zest, mint and dill. Cover and refrigerate until very cold, at least 2 hours. Keep the cucumber slices covered and chilled.
• Put some ice, a shot of vodka and some of the lime mixture in a cocktail shaker and shake for 10 seconds. Strain into a martini glass and garnish with a cucumber slice, some mint and dill. Repeat to make 3 more martinis.
• Bring the sugar and 1 cup water to a boil in a small saucepan over medium high heat. When the sugar is completely dissolved, remove the saucepan from the heat and cool the syrup to room temperature. Refrigerate, covered, for up to 1 week.

Steps:

• In small saucepan, bring the water and sugar to a boil over medium high-heat. Simmer until the sugar has dissolved completely. Set aside to cool.
• Put the chile-lime powder on a small plate. Using the lime wedge, moisten the rims of the martini glasses. Invert the martini glasses into the chile-lime powder, to coat the rims.
• In a blender, combine the simple syrup, cucumber, water, and lime juice until smooth. Strain the mixture into a pitcher. Add the vodka and mix well. Fill a martini shaker with ice and add about 1 cup of the prepared cucumber mixture. Shake well and serve.

Steps:

• Mix gin and thick cucumber slices in pitcher. Cover and chill overnight or up to 3 days.
• Strain gin, discarding thick cucumber slices. Pour half of gin into cocktail shaker. Add 1 tablespoon (or more) vermouth, then fill shaker with ice. Shake vigorously; strain into 3 glasses. Repeat with remaining gin and desired amount of vermouth. Garnish with thin cucumber slices and serve.

Steps:

• Chill two martini glasses. Put all the ingredients in a cocktail shaker or jug (except the cucumber ribbons), along with a handful of ice. Shake or mix well to combine, then strain the liquid into the glasses. Garnish with the cucumber ribbons, bunched up and threaded onto a cocktail stick.

Steps:

• Muddle, shake. Serve straight uo in a chilled martini glass with a slice of cucumber as a garnish.

Steps:

• Set 2 ice cubes aside. Place remaining ice cubes in a martini glass and fill with water to chill the glass.
• Combine 3 slices cucumber, mint, and melon liqueur in a cocktail shaker. Mash thoroughly with a cocktail muddler. Add lemon-flavored vodka, vermouth, and 2 reserved ice cubes; cover and shake vigorously until the outside of the shaker becomes frosty; this is how you know the liquid is the same temperature as the ice.
• Dump the ice water from the martini glass. Strain martini into the glass and garnish with remaining cucumber slice.
