I have many favorite summer drinks: Pabst Blue Ribbon, Stella Artois, iced tea with lemonade, iced chocolate milk, a yogurt smoothie with frozen berries and salt. Some weekends require a drink with more muscle, but that doesn't mean giving up summery flavors. One of my favorites is the Cucumber Martini, which when properly made is like drinking an ice-cold glass of fresh air.
 |
| Step 1: Grow a cucumber. |
 |
| Step 2: Slice off 5-7 disks. Drop one in a glass with ice. |
 |
| Step 3: Stack the disks and slice into them. |
 |
Step 4: Add disks, ice, and 2 shots gin and shake, shake, shake.
My favorite gin for this drink is Hayman's Old Tom for its aromatic flavor and sweetness.

| Step 5: Pour, keeping the cuke bits out of your glass. Enjoy! |
