CUCUMBER MARTINI
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Put the thick cucumber slices in a cocktail shaker. Use a muddler or a wooden spoon to muddle , or crush, the cucumber slices a bit to bring out more of their flavor.
- Pour in the vodka and the dry vermouth .

- Put the top on the cocktail shaker and shake vigorously for at least 30 seconds. (It's important that you shake for this length of time.) This not only mixes the ingredients but also melts some of the ice into the cocktail to soften its edges and blend the flavors.
- Strain the mixture into a martini glass.
- Garnish with thin slices of fresh cucumber and serve.

Steps:
- In small saucepan, bring the water and sugar to a boil over medium high-heat. Simmer until the sugar has dissolved completely. Set aside to cool.
- Put the chile-lime powder on a small plate. Using the lime wedge, moisten the rims of the martini glasses. Invert the martini glasses into the chile-lime powder, to coat the rims.
- In a blender, combine the simple syrup, cucumber, water, and lime juice until smooth. Strain the mixture into a pitcher. Add the vodka and mix well. Fill a martini shaker with ice and add about 1 cup of the prepared cucumber mixture. Shake well and serve.
CUCUMBER LIME MARTINI
Steps:
- Slice 4 very thin slices from the cucumber, then peel, seed and coarsely chop the rest. Combine the lime juice, chopped cucumber, some Simple Syrup and 2 cups cold water in a blender and blend until smooth. Pour into a pitcher and stir in the lime zest, mint and dill. Cover and refrigerate until very cold, at least 2 hours. Keep the cucumber slices covered and chilled.
- Put some ice, a shot of vodka and some of the lime mixture in a cocktail shaker and shake for 10 seconds. Strain into a martini glass and garnish with a cucumber slice, some mint and dill. Repeat to make 3 more martinis.
- Bring the sugar and 1 cup water to a boil in a small saucepan over medium high heat. When the sugar is completely dissolved, remove the saucepan from the heat and cool the syrup to room temperature. Refrigerate, covered, for up to 1 week.

Steps:
- Set 2 ice cubes aside. Place remaining ice cubes in a martini glass and fill with water to chill the glass.
- Combine 3 slices cucumber, mint, and melon liqueur in a cocktail shaker. Mash thoroughly with a cocktail muddler. Add lemon-flavored vodka, vermouth, and 2 reserved ice cubes; cover and shake vigorously until the outside of the shaker becomes frosty; this is how you know the liquid is the same temperature as the ice.
- Dump the ice water from the martini glass. Strain martini into the glass and garnish with remaining cucumber slice.
