Cucumbers in all their glory!

Hi y'all.
I don't know about you, but I'm living on BLT's this week.
Gotta make those tomatoes shine for all they're worth.

I also have been truly enjoying our bumper crop of cucumbers.
My latest delight, cucumber martinis.

My favorite nightcap this summer has been a gin or vodka martini with an entire small or medium cucumber in it!
I use a drop of dry vermouth, a couple of ounces of gin or vodka (they both have their unique charms).
Shake or stir, according to your preference. Strain into a chilled martini glass and add 15-20 small slices of cucumber.

Good Lord, they're yummy.
If we get more cukes this week, I'm gonna think about doing an infusion.
