A light, summery cocktail, Russian by background. A recipe from Bar Lubitsch in West Hollywood California (found in Maxim magazine). NOTE: I really liked this one. . .very faint cucumber taste but great fresh cucumber smell. I used 1.5 packets of stevia instead of sugar with great results. I also served mine over ice as it was a bit too potent for me as written!!!

SERVES 1 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

3 ounces potato vodka
4 slices seedless cucumber
1/2 ounce fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon sugar

Directions

1
Muddle the cucumber with the sugar in the bottom of a cocktail shaker. Add in the rest of the ingredients and 1/2 cup of ice.
2
Shake vigorously for 10 seconds and strain into a birdbath champagne glass or martini glass.
3
Garnish with a slice (or ribbon) of cucumber or a lime wedge.
