What's a luncheon without a refreshing cocktail?
You guys knew this post was coming! This month's cocktail is the thirst quenching Cucumber Martini!
We love martinis because they are super simple to make, while still giving that edge of elegance - which perfectly meshes with the laid back & chic French vibe we're going for!!
Ingredients:
2 slices cucumber (for the shaker), plus 2 more for garnish - thin/lengthwise
2 oz vodka
1/2 oz dry white vermouth
1/3 oz St Germain
Squeeze of fresh lemon (1/4 lemon), slice a couple wedges for garnish
How-to:
1. Add the cucumber slices to a cocktail shaker and gently muddle them to release the juice/flavour.
2. Add ice, vodka, vermouth, squeeze of lemon, and St Germain to shaker. Give it a good shake until eveyrthing is well combined/nice and cold.
3. Before straining into martini glass, add your thin sliced cucumber around the inside of the glass and a bit of crushed ice. Strain the drink into the glass. Garnish with lemon.
PRO TIP: Put your martini glasses into your freezer for at least 20 minutes before making - adding an extra crispness to the refreshing flavours!
