Answer 2

The BEST cucumber martini ever is served at a trendy fondue resturant in Portland. In case you can't get a reservation, though, here's the recipe:

3 parts Absolute Citron vodka
1 part Cointreau or Triple Sec
ice
rimming salt
fresh muddled cucumber (to taste) and a thin slice for garnish

Optional ingredients for an amazing variation include fresh-muddled cilantro, a dash of tobasco, and fresh lemon or lime

Mix the muddled cucumber, vodka and Triple Sec in a cocktail shaker half-filled with ice; shake until you're arms fall off (or until slushy) and strain into a salt-rimmed glass. Garnish with the cucumber slice and ENJOY!!!

*Note: If you don't have a muddler, use a mortor & pestle or the blunt end of a wooden spoon

Answer 5

This is the REAL cucumber martini--

INGREDIENTS
1 ½ oz. Hendrick's Gin
¾ oz. Dry Vermouth

PREPARATION
Stir Vermouth and Hendrick's Gin over ice cubes in mixing glass. Strain into martini glass. Serve with cucumber slice.

Hendrick's gin is made with hints of coriander, juniper, citrus peel, Bulgarian rose petals -- and a curious but marvelous infusion of cucumber.

They have great animations at the link below about this Scottish gin.

Answer 6

Grow the cucumber in Italy. OK, substitute the vermouth for cucumber juice but remember, shaken not stirred. Was that a vodka or gin martini? Doesn't matter after 3.

Answer 7

First, you have to take the cucumber for some martini lessons. That's the hard part my friend. Once you get past that, it's all down hill.
