Sake Vodka Martini

5 min • 1 servings •
BJ
Chilled martini with a cucumber slice garnish on a granite kitchen counter, alongside a cocktail shaker and cutting board.

I was first introduced to this incredible libation at a sushi restaurant in Boston. Rather than vermouth, the bartender substituted sake and instead of olives, a thin slice of cucumber was floating on top.

No need to have sushi to have this drink at the end of a long day.
