Calories 157kcal
Ingredients
- 2 ounces gin or vodka
- 1 ounce dry vermouth
- ½ ounce cucumber juice muddled from about 4 slices
- 2 slices cucumber or ribbons, for garnish
Instructions
- Muddle some cucumber slices to release the juices. Strain the juice to remove from seeds and pulp.
- In a mixing glass, combine the gin (or vodka), dry vermouth and cucumber juice. Add a couple of ice cubes and stir gently with a bar spoon until chilled.
- Strain into a martini glass. Garnish with fresh cucumber.
Notes
Stir, don’t shake a martini. This will keep the drink from getting too diluted with ice, while still chilling the ingredients enough.
Play with the ratio of gin to dry vermouth to make it a wet or dry and find your perfect martini recipe.
