Step 1

Slice the Cucumber (1/2) .

Step 2

Place cucumber in a small bowl and cover with Gin (2 fl oz) for one hour.

Step 3

Remove the cucumbers and pour the infused gin over Ice (to taste) in a shaker. Add Cointreau (0.5 fl oz) then stir with a bar spoon. I like the citrusy Cointreau with the fresh cucumber gin but feel free to use the traditional dry vermouth!

Step 4

Finely slice the Thai Chili Pepper (1) and place at the bottom of a chilled martini glass.

Step 5

Strain cocktail into the martini glass, garnish with cucumber, and sip!
