Chilled martini glass
-
Either put the martini glass in the freezer, or fill it with ice, add a little water, and leave it to one side to chill.
-
Step 3:
-
Cucumber
-
Use your knife to finely peel half the cucumber. Leave a little of the cucumber skin on to give the drink extra flavour and a light green hue. Don't throw all of the skin away - save a little to garnish the drink.

Handy Hint

When there is condensation on the outside of the shaker and it feels very cold, then it's mixed.
