Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Set 2 ice cubes aside. Place remaining ice cubes in a martini glass and fill with water to chill the glass.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Dump the ice water from the martini glass. Strain martini into the glass and garnish with remaining cucumber slice.
