7_facepack_b.jpgWe had something akin to this at Eve (the Restaurant) and I thought it represented a perfectly-balanced adult beverage.

Items

  • 2 oz premium vodka (Grey Goose is a nice choice)
  • 1 oz lemon juice
  • 1 Tbsp sugar (simple syrup is probably better but I’m going to make this at home)
  • two thin slices of fresh cucumber

Method

  1. Shake one slice of cucumber with the sugar, vodka, and lemon juice in a shaker with a handful of ice.
  2. Strain into a chilled martini glass.
  3. Serve with the remaining slice of cucumber floating in the glass.
  4. Share and enjoy.
