Winded cucumber cocktail

Method

Place the cucumber piece into a large cocktail shaker and, using a muddling stick (like a small rolling pin – or just use a wooden spoon) smash it up. By the way, in the cocktail world this is called muddling … crazy, I know.

Add the other ingredients and stir like a martini. It's a good idea to pretend you're James Bond and say the line, just as Sean Connery would.

Now take your desired glass; we like the rounded martini shape and double strain into the glass.

Garnish with a sexy ribbon of cucumber on a toothpick, or even one of those plastic colourful camel picks (whatever you fancy really).
