Cucumber has been a popular ingredient in cocktails for some time, and with good reason. The clean, crisp, coolness it adds to a drink makes this martini very refreshing. Adding a bit of lemon juice also helps add some acidity without tasting distinctly lemon.

Directions
Shake the gin, pureed cucumber, dry vermouth and lemon juice in a shaker with ice. Strain into a chilled glass. Garnish with a lemon peel and cucumber slice.
