'Cool as a cucumber' means very calm and in control of your emotions. When everything seems to be going wrong, she stays as cool as a cucumber.

Examples a. and c. are perfect examples for this idiom.

Example b. is stretching the meaning of the idiom and should probably be changed to: "This bottle of beer is as cool as a winter night in Tokyo."

Try eating cucumber after a hot, spicy meal. It will cool you.

If your eyes are sore, put cucumber slices in them. They will cool you.

Your Chinese neighbors know this and consider the cucumber a cold energy food.

Any of your sentences will work.
