What to do on a rainy day weekend after Lydia's bedtime? Experiment with leftover ingredients and martini recipes! I had a ton of ingredients left over from our sangria party…….and the result? This delicious cucumber mint martini! It's refreshing, a little sweet, and the color is just my favorite. It looks stunning in a martini glass. Want to impress your guests? This drink just looks fancy.
Cucumber Mint Martini
Ingredients:
two seedless cucumbers
mint leaves
two teaspoons of sugar
vodka
Instructions:
Peel both cucumbers. Slice and set pieces aside for garnishing. Blend the rest of the cucumbers in a blender then strain into a bowl.
Combine cucumber juice, two jiggers of vodka, two teaspoons of sugar in a cocktail shaker.
Pour over muddled mint leaves and garnish with cucumber slices.
Serves two (or one exhausted mommy).
Enjoy!
That sounds so good!
Cucumber and mint are soooo refreshing! I can’t wait until spring and early summer! We’re almost there! This looks delicious! I make refreshing flavored waters with this combination! ^_^
