Flavour profile

History

Cucumber is great here, vodka-laced and infused with bison grass. Sugar amplifies flavours rather than sweetening the cocktail.

Numerous variations of the Cucumber Martini exist; this version was refined in July 2023 following a suggestion from Marco, a fellow Discerning Drinker, whose comment can be found below.
