The Marvellous Method
Chop the cucumber in half and remove the seeds. Dice the rest of the cucumber. Place in a jar/bottle and cover with the vodka. Steep for 2-3 days. Strain the vodka.
The cucumber may discolour slightly; don’t let that put you off, but equally, don’t leave to steep for much longer than 3 days - the vodka may take on a bitter flavour as the oils leach from the cucumber skin.
This is an essential ingredient in our Garden of Eden cocktail. Making a batch yourself is very easy and achieves a more rounded flavour than store-bought versions, primarily because you can control the base vodka you use.
