Since you can’t buy Mint Martini (yet), you need to make it yourself, so that’s your excuse to buy yourself an extra bottle of Martini!

 

  • Take a good sip and replace it with a handful of mint leaves.
  • Close the bottle and put in a cool, dark place. Go shake from time to time.
  • Check the taste and remove the mint leaves when the mint perfume is at your liking. (5 days should do the trick)

 

Use normal Martini and add some mint extract if you really want to enjoy your gin cucumber Martini in 10 minutes from now!
