Review:
Cucumber has never tasted so good, helped by being vodka-laced and infused with notes of bison grass. The touch of sugar in this cocktail helps amplify flavours rather than sweetening the cocktail.

There are many different Cucumber Martini recipes; this is mine - much improved in July 2023 thanks to a comment by Marco, a fellow Discerning Drinker (below).
Alcohol content:
- 1.5 standard drinks
- 26.59% alc./vol. (53.18° proof)

Difford's Guide remains free-to-use thanks to the support of the brands in green above. Values stated for alcohol and calorie content, and number of drinks an ingredient makes should be considered approximate.
