Yield Makes 1 bottle

Number Of Ingredients 2

Ingredients

1 bottle (750 mL) gin
2 English cucumbers, washed and thinly sliced

Steps:

Combine gin and cucumbers in a glass jar. Cover, and let steep at room temperature for at least 2 days (or up to 1 week). Strain, discarding cucumbers.

Tips:

Choose the right cucumbers: For the best flavor, use fresh, firm cucumbers that are free of blemishes. English cucumbers are a good choice because they are thin-skinned and have a mild flavor.
Slice the cucumbers thinly: This will help them to infuse the gin more quickly and evenly.
Use a clean glass jar: This will help to prevent the gin from becoming cloudy.
Let the gin infuse for at least 24 hours: The longer the gin infuses, the more pronounced the cucumber flavor will be.
Serve the gin chilled: This will help to highlight the refreshing cucumber flavor.

Conclusion:

Cucumber-infused gin is a delicious and refreshing cocktail that is perfect for summer sipping. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Experiment with different types of cucumbers, herbs, and spices to create a gin that is uniquely your own. Cheers!
