Homemade cucumber infused gin
A deliciously flavoured gin that makes the perfect G&T, a great martini or as a frozen shot too.
Ingredients
- 1 cucumber
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 2 tbsp vermouth
- 500 ml gin
Instructions
- Wash the cucumber, do not peel it and chop into matchsticks
- Put the chopped cucumber, salt, vermouth and gin into a jar and pop on the lid and shake well. Set aside in a cupboard for a week to infuse.
- Strain the gin through 2 layers of cheesecloth/muslin or kitchen paper and pour into a sterilised bottle
Notes
Your cucumber gin will keep for up to a year in a cool cupboard.
Straining through two layers of muslin/kitchen paper means you remove all the tiny cucumber fibres that would make your liqueur cloudy.
Use sea salt crystals/flakes, not table salt.
