For the cucumber vodka (and a substitute)
Cucumber Vodka is a vodka flavored with cucumber. You can make cucumber vodka at home by infusing vodka with peeled and seeded cucumber slices for 7 days. It’s perfect for summer aperitifs, especially this cucumber cocktail!
If you don’t have 7 days (and we get it!), there are a few other options:
- Buy cucumber vodka. There are also several brands of cucumber vodka on the market: Effen Cucumber Vodka is a popular brand. Other bottles are made by the Ketel One, Eight Degrees, Western Son, and Putnam Pearl brands.
- Use cucumber slices and standard vodka (or gin). This drink is also easy to make with fresh cucumber! Simply mix 6 cucumber slices (sliced 1/8″ thick) in a shaker, then strain into the glass.
