Cucumber martinis recipe

Ingredients

  • 50ml sugar syrup (buy ready-made, or make your own – see tip, below)
  • 10 thin slices cucumber, plus 4 ribbons sliced with a vegetable peeler
  • large bunch mint, stems removed
  • 1 tbsp dry vermouth
  • 150ml gin

Method

  • Chill two martini glasses. Put all the ingredients in a cocktail shaker or jug (except the cucumber ribbons), along with a handful of ice. Shake or mix well to combine, then strain the liquid into the glasses. Garnish with the cucumber ribbons, bunched up and threaded onto a cocktail stick.
