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 ripest, most flavorful cucumbers you can find.
Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the cucumbers, as this will help them release their flavor more easily.
If you don't have time to infuse the gin for 24 hours, you can infuse it for a shorter period of time, but the flavor will be less pronounced.
Be careful not to over-infuse the gin, as this can make it bitter.
Use fresh grapefruit juice for the best flavor.
Add a squeeze of lime juice to the cocktail for a bit of tartness.
Garnish the cocktail with a cucumber slice and a sprig of mint.

This cucumber-infused gin and grapefruit fizz is a refreshing and flavorful cocktail that is perfect for summer parties. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a refreshing cocktail, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
