Cucumber martinis are the quintessential outdoor patio, poolside, or rooftop cocktail in warm weather. They’re made many ways depending on who is whipping one up for you, but this is personally my favorite way to make it. Definitely, give this one a save so you can make it for yourself later, you won’t regret it! Cheers!

Muddle 3 cucumber slices with simple syrup. Add the rest of the liquid ingredients. Slap and rip 2 basil leaves. Shake everything together with ice and double strain into a chilled coupe or martini glass. Garnish with a skewered cucumber ribbon.

Editor's Note

Cucumber and basil meet in this crisp, garden-forward sour. Elderflower liqueur adds a floral depth that elevates the gin base.

This sounds like the perfect refreshing drink for a warm afternoon! I love the addition of basil to the classic cucumber-gin profile.
