Cucumber Saketini

 

Serves 2

 

2 oz gin

2 oz sake

1 whole Persian cucumber plus 6 thin slices

3 fresh basil leaves

1 tablespoon Honey

 

In a blender, add whole cucumber, basil, honey and sake.  Blend until the cumber and basil are completely smooth.

In a shaker with ice, mix together the gin and sake combination.  Pour into a martini glass and garnish with slices of cucumber.

Serve.

 

This drink is a strange combination of healthy and alcohol.  The cucumbers and basil are very refreshing but this drink is almost pure alcohol.  If you like martini’s, you’ll love this drink!

I would recommend using Hendricks Gin as it has hints of cucumber.
