CUCUMBER INFUSED VODKA
1 large hothouse cucumber
1 750ml bottle vomFASS Premium Vodka
CUCUMBER MARTINI (serves 2)
5 ounces cucumber vodka
¾ ounce lime juice
1 tablespoon agave nectar or simple syrup
2 thin cucumber slices (optional)
CUCUMBER SPRITZER (serves 2)
5 ounces cucumber vodka
¾ ounce lime juice
1 tablespoon agave nectar or simple syrup
4 ounces club soda
2 lime wedges
Directions
CUCUMBER INFUSED VODKA: Remove skin and seeds (the peel and seeds may cause bitterness) from cucumber and roughly chop.*
Add to a large glass jar with vodka. Refrigerate for 5-7 days, testing for desired level of cucumber flavor every few days. Strain vodka and store in the refrigerator.
Yields roughly 3 cups vodka.
* You can speed up this process by blending the prepared cucumber with the vodka and then straining through cheese cloth. The yield may be slightly less.

CUCUMBER SPRITZER
