Yummy Summer Drink - Cucumber Martini 2 cucumbers Small ice cubes 1 cup loosely packed fresh mint leaves 2 teaspoons granulated sugar 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice (2-3 limes) 1/2 cup vodka 2 tablespoons Cointreau Cut 4 thin spears from 1 cucumber, and reserve for garnish. Peel remaining cucumbers, and quarter them lengthwise. Scrape out seeds with a spoon, and discard. Coarsely chop cucumbers, then puree in a food processor until smooth. Strain through a fine sieve, pressing on solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add mint, sugar, and lime juice, and shake. Add 3/4 cup cucumber juice, the vodka, and Cointreau, and shake. Strain into 4 glasses filled with ice. Garnish each cocktail with a cucumber spear.
