A Cucumber Infused Martini Recipe
Summer cocktails and martinis are the best one’s to make. With fresh ingredients like berries and fruit you can muddle almost anything into a tasty drink. You can even use vegetables like I did here in this drink!
When you muddle the cucumber and then shake them into this martini it infuses the flavor of the liquor with tiny pieces of cucumber that go all throughout the drink. Instead of just having it for garnish, you can actually taste the cucumber with every sip.
How To Make A Cucumber Gin Martini
To make this drink all you have to do is grab your favorite bottle of gin, you could use Hendrick’s too which is a gin infused with cucumber if you really want to amp the flavor.
Grab a small cucumber and muddle three slices of the cucumber until they are pretty liquified…
Next add in 2 ounces of gin a squeeze of lime and a tablespoon of agave nectar. You can adjust the amount of the agave to your liking, if you like your drinks a little less sweet just add in half the amount.
Shake vigorously so that all that muddled cucumber goes throughout the martini and strain it into a chilled martini glass. Then, of course, you should garnish this martini with a slice of cucumber just to make it look fancy.
Even if you think you wouldn’t like a cucumber martini, you should give this one a try to see if it changes your mind…It definitely did for me!

Delicious. I added 2 oz of soda water to add a bit of mouth feel, and provide some subtlety and depth to the flavor.
