Steps:
- Set 2 ice cubes aside. Place remaining ice cubes in a martini glass and fill with water to chill the glass.
- Combine 3 slices cucumber, mint, and melon liqueur in a cocktail shaker. Mash thoroughly with a cocktail muddler. Add lemon-flavored vodka, vermouth, and 2 reserved ice cubes; cover and shake vigorously until the outside of the shaker becomes frosty; this is how you know the liquid is the same temperature as the ice.
- Dump the ice water from the martini glass. Strain martini into the glass and garnish with remaining cucumber slice.

Steps:
- Place the cucumber and mint in a cocktail shaker and add the lime juice and simple syrup. Muddle the cucumber and mint together. (I muddled it for about 3 minutes. I really wanted to squish the cucumber but not obliterate it)
- Add the vodka to the mixture and add enough ice to fill it half way
- Cap the shaker and shake it at least for 15 seconds or stir it, whichever you prefer
- Strain the mixture into a martini glass, take a spoon and fish a few pieces of cucumber out, along with a few mint leaves and place it in the liquid
- Sip
- Smile
- Enjoy

MINT-CUCUMBER MOJITOS
This refreshing version of mint mojitos features a springtime kick of cucumber. We love these at special gatherings and summer barbeques. A pitcher of this can be made a few hours in advance--just add alcohol at serving time.

Steps:
- Make the mint simple syrup: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the water, sugar, and roughly chopped mint leaves. Bring to a low boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mint is fragrant. Remove from the heat and let cool for 5-10 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve. Store remaining mint syrup in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
- In a cocktail shaker, combine the cucumber rounds, lime juice, whole mint leaves, and 1 tablespoon of the mint simple syrup. Muddle for 1-2 minutes, until the cucumber and mint have released their flavors, but are not mushy.
- Pour in the vodka and fill the shaker halfway with ice. Shake vigorously for 30 seconds.
- Fill a Collins glass with ice and pour in the strained cocktail.
- Garnish with the cucumber ribbons.
- Enjoy!
