Perfect Summer Martini

Some of you asked from my last post (don't forget to enter my giveaway!) what a Cucumber Cosmo is. It is a fruit twist on a Cosmopolitan. I don't typically like fruit martinis - they tend to be too sweet for me. This one, however is super refreshing. Especially if drank on a hot day with the fan on, sitting on my deck, reading.

So, to share with you, here is my recipe.
Enjoy!

Cucumber Cosmopolitan

Ingredients

• 1/3 cucumber
  
• 2 oz grey goose vodka
• splash cranberry juice
• 1 teaspoon Simple Syrup
  
• cucumber slice

Preparation

• Muddle the cucumber with the Simple Syrup in a cocktail shaker.

• Add vodka and cranberry juice (you can add more or less cranberry to your taste).
