Cheers to this Weekend!

Enjoy this Fourth of July weekend! We will not be at the Portland Saturday Market on Sunday. Relish every moment with friends and family. Drink a cucumber martini too. Why not? It's good for you, after all it's a vegetable.
  • 1 1/2 cups gin
  • 1 cucumber (about 9 ounces), cut into 1/3-inch-thick slices, plus 6 thin slices for garnish
  • 2 tablespoons (or more) dry vermouth
  • Ice cub

    • 1 1/2 cups gin
    • 1 cucumber (about 9 ounces), cut into 1/3-inch-thick slices, plus 6 thin slices for garnish
    • 2 tablespoons (or more) dry vermouth
    • Ice cubes
    Mix gin and thick cucumber slices in pitcher. Cover and chill overnight or up to 3 days.

    Strain gin, discarding thick cucumber slices. Pour half of gin into cocktail shaker. Add 1 tablespoon (or more) vermouth, then fill shaker with ice. Shake vigorously; strain into 3 glasses. Repeat with remaining gin and desired amount of vermouth. Garnish with thin cucumber slices and serve.
