It's been dreadfully hot this week in San Francisco so my roommate and I decided to go out in search of a refreshing cocktail last night. We went to this swanky little place on the outskirts of the Tenderloin called "olive". Obviously, a place called "Olive" specializes in what else...martini's.
I'm not big on martini's myself but decided to try one of their house specialties, a Cucumber Martini. And damn! It rocked! The bartender smashed up some fresh cucumber into his mixer thing, then added gin and vermouth. He then strained it into a proper martini glass and floated a nice slice of cucumber in the glass. This cocktail is mildly sweet, refreshing and just plain yummy!
Screw the trendy Apple-tini's and Cosmo's, and grab yourself a Cucumber Martini!
