Cucumber martini cupcakes are sophisticated - fresh, not cloyingly sweet, and graced with gin and vermouth in both cupcake and frosting. Cucumber martini cupcakes are not for everyone (a few tasters balked at the unusual flavor and promptly discarded their cupcakes). Yet, if you relish cucumber martinis or the crisp feel cucumber imparts to any beverage (even simple cucumber water), you'll likely be fond of cucumber martini cupcakes - a dessert destined for a trendy bar's small sleek menu alongside local cheeses, charcuterie, mini scoops of house-made ice cream, and a bowl of truffled popcorn.
