Cocktail Description
Imagine the essence of a verdant European meadow distilled into a glass—that's the Cucumber Meadow Martini.
This elegant cocktail combines the herbal, vanilla-like notes of Zubrowka Bison Grass Vodka with the floral sweetness of St-Germain and crisp freshness of muddled cucumber, all balanced by the gentle acidity of pressed apple juice. The result is a remarkably refreshing drink with layers of botanical complexity—grassy and floral upfront, followed by subtle sweetness and a clean cucumber finish. Perfect for spring and summer gatherings, it makes an impressive aperitif for outdoor dinner parties or a sophisticated option for Sunday brunch. Despite its refined flavor profile, it's surprisingly straightforward to prepare, requiring just a good muddling technique and proper chilling. This martini variation pairs beautifully with light fish dishes, goat cheese salads, or delicate canapés, complementing rather than overwhelming subtle flavors.
