Is this the cucumber martini that we have referred to here? And I wonder what the adaptations are:

It might be close. Elway's is made with Hendricks

gin and uses a sweet syrup.

What is the flavour of the syrup?

Now I've been researching. Simple syrup, pear juice, vodka, gin, grated cucmbers, melon liqueur,

cucumber, olive, cuc and olive.........There seems to be no definitive answer/recipe. But at least it gets the daily fruit and ve requirements met.

Yours, Gretchen, seems to be made with Hendrick's cucmber infused gin and simple syrup.

Something else to do with these lovely cucumbrs.

Simple syrup--just sweet

No, muddled cucumbers, simple syrup and

lime juice. It is not very sweet--just deadly.
