Clean, crisp, slightly sweet, this Cucumber Martini Recipe is refreshing and easy to drink! Perfect for summer days or if you’re just in the mood a clean martini - and look at how beautiful she is 💋
I love my dirty martinis, but sometimes I’m in the mood for something more refreshing and this Cucumbertini is PERFECT for those days! You can make this Cucumber Martini with either gin or vodka, I like gin so that’s what I used but it is amazing with whichever you like best.

Psst….Some Secrets Before You Start
Shake your Cucumbertini 60-90 seconds (non-negotiable) to create those perfect icicles that makes this martini even more epic.
If you make mixed drinks, I am obsessed with this Elevated Craft Hybrid Cocktail Shaker. I know it’s pricey but it is worth every penny!
The Perfect Pairings
Not sure what to pair with this cocktail - I got you 😉
Just think light and fresh when trying to pair with this Cucumbertini. Salmon Ceviche is a great choice. You can also go the savory route with a Goat Cheese Appetizer. Steak Frites on a summer day would be amazing! Or if you’re having these for lunch, my Salmon Spring Rolls are easy and pair well.
