This martini was easy to make and very refreshing. I liked the cucumber and basil flavors, but I found the drink to be a bit too sweet for my taste. Next time, I'll cut back on the simple syrup.

Not a huge fan of gin, but this martini was surprisingly good! The cucumber and basil really mellow out the gin and make it much more palatable. I'll definitely be making this again.

This basil cucumber martini is the perfect summer cocktail! It's light, refreshing, and has a beautiful green color. I garnished mine with a cucumber slice and a sprig of basil, which really elevated the presentation. 5/5 stars!
