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

Happy belated birthday! The martini sounds really nice. I’ll have to try that one. Have you seen this segment from 20/20? A taste test of vodkas http://a.media.abcnews.com/podcasts/080620_2020_webcast.m4v
Cucumber in water (in lieu of a lemon wedge) is a nice summer drink for those mornings *after* the martinis.
