I love cucumbers, I have said it before and my love continues. What prompts this post was a visit to
111 Chophouse in Worcester a few weeks ago. The husband and I were sitting at the bar having dinner when I saw the bartender bring a martini to a fellow patron that was garnished with cucumber slices.. What a brilliant idea. I have had cucumber inspired martinis before, and featured them on my blog [
Spicked Cucumber Martini] but adding a garnish gives you the flavor without all the work.
So yesterday I made myself a simplified martini...
yes those are my beloved mini cukes.
Not to be outdone the husband made the next one...
he blended the cukes with the marini.
Both were delicious but I have to say I liked mine better because there was no pulp...
What do you think?

I would NEVER have imagined that. I love cukes!
I love cukes in my martini's. Especially when made with Hendricks Gin. So delish!
I've never tried blending it like your hubby did. I don't care much for pulp either, so I think I'll stick with cucumber slices.
mmmmmm.
i never heard of this i have them in my salads, should i stop the salads and go with the drink?
I love vodka and I love cucumbers; together? I don't know. I'll have to try it.
