BASIL CUCUMBER SMASH
Crushed ice, and plenty of it, is key to this and other smashes. It's what, in pre-freezer days, made this cocktail style seem so very indulgent.

MUDDLED BASIL MARTINI
I've been searching for the perfect summer basil martini. I think I found it on the "B*tches on a Budget" website! Slight variation using agave nectar instead of simple syrup. I had to substitute ounces for "jiggers" as called for in the original recipe -- original verbage included in directions.

BASIL-CUCUMBER MOJITO
I love mojitos, but sometimes I am just not feeling the mint. Luckily, this is a great alternative that brings together the complex aromatic flavor of basil and the cool, refreshing splash of a cucumber.

CUCUMBER MARTINI
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Put the thick cucumber slices in a cocktail shaker. Use a muddler or a wooden spoon to muddle , or crush, the cucumber slices a bit to bring out more of their flavor.
- Pour in the vodka and the dry vermouth .
- Swirl just a bit to combine, then add the ice.
- Put the top on the cocktail shaker and shake vigorously for at least 30 seconds. (It's important that you shake for this length of time.) This not only mixes the ingredients but also melts some of the ice into the cocktail to soften its edges and blend the flavors.
