Cucumber Lemon Gin Recipes

Steps:

• Juice the lemons and place the strained juice and the bodies into a large pot. Add the sugar to the pot and muddle with the lemon bodies and juice for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the lemon bodies, add the water and stir until the sugar has dissolved.
• Strain the mixture into a 3-quart glass container and add the cucumbers. Steep for 1 hour. Add the gin and stir to combine. Serve over ice.

Steps:

• To infuse, add prepared produce to a clean 1 liter jar. Cover with liquor and store in refrigerator, shaking daily for 4 days before straining.

Steps:

• Using a vegetable peeler, shave 4 long, thin ribbons from cucumber; set aside. Cut a 4" piece from remaining cucumber and coarsely chop. Muddle with kaffir lime leaves, sugar, and 2 lemon slices in a cocktail shaker. Add gin and lime juice and fill shaker with ice. Cover and shake until outside of shaker is frosty, about 20 seconds.
• Strain into 2 ice-filled Collins glasses. Top off each with club soda. Gently stir to combine; garnish each with 2 reserved cucumber ribbons and remaining lemon slices.

Steps:

• Make a simple syrup: in a small pan, heat sugar and 1 cup water; boil until sugar is melted. Cool. (It keeps in the refrigerator for weeks.)
• In a cocktail shaker, muddle the cucumber. Add the Pimm's, gin, lemon juice and 3/4-ounce simple syrup. Shake.
• Strain into a Collins glass filled with ice. Top with seltzer or sparkling water. Garnish with lemon wedge and mint sprig.
