CUCUMBER MARTINI
60ml Hendrick's Gin 4 large oregano leaves 2 thin slices cucumber 10ml dry vermouth
Using a muddling spoon as opposed to a stick muddle the oregano and cucumber. Not to a mash, just enough to release the flavours. Add ice and vermouth, (note from source: I have tried rinsing the ice with the vermouth, but as with any martini, depends how you like it, I find 10ml works well) Shake well and double strain into a martini glass. Garnish with a thin slice of Cucumber. |
