Infuse lemons in a jar with Vodka and lemon zest.
Infusing your favorite liquor with various flavors just got quicker and easier! In just a few minutes, I was able to infuse a cucumber flavor into vodka right in the Ninja Foodi Cold & Hot Blender. heat to 165f.
Cucumber vodka is vodka infused with cucumbers and is beyond easy to make. Chopped cucumber, vodka, and a bit of time for the flavor to blend are all it takes.
Once you've made it, cucumber vodka is perfect for creating cool and easy summer cocktails. Serve it all on its own over ice, pour it on ice with a splash of soda and a cucumber slice, or use it to make a cooling cucumber martini.
Ingredients
1 large garden cucumber
1 (750 ml) bottle of vodka
Steps to Make It
Gather the ingredients.
Trim off and discard the ends of the cucumber and peel off the skin. Cut the cucumber in half lengthwise. Use a small spoon to scoop out and discard the watery seeds in the center.
Roughly chop or slice the peeled and seeded cucumber.
Put the chopped cucumber in a large glass container with a tight-fitting lid.
Pour the vodka over the cucumber. Seal the jar and let sit in a cool, dark space for at least three days and up to two weeks (any longer, and the vodka will take on a slightly bitter taste).
Strain the vodka back into its original bottle or another clean bottle. Discard or eat what can now be considered the "pickled" cucumber whose flavor was infused into the vodka.
Tip
Don't skip the peeling or seeding steps; both the peel and seeds have a bitterness to them that will transfer quickly to the vodka and distract from the delicate cucumber flavor that can be extracted and enjoyed.
The bottle does not need to be refrigerated, but it can be. It can also be stored in the freezer. The infused vodka can be kept for a long time. The alcohol prevents any mold or other bacteria from growing.
WHY SHOULD YOU ALWAYS STIR YOUR INFUSIONS?
If you do not stir, the liquor that is touching the lemon zest will get the most of the lemon “essence”, while there will be other liquor farther away that isn’t infused enough. Daily stirring promotes consistent flavor infusion throughout all of the liquor.
WHY SHOULD YOU KEEP INFUSIONS IN A COOL, DARK PLACE?
Light can expedite the process of ingredients breaking down and deteriorating – and we don’t want that. We want our infusion to stay as fresh and vibrant as possible. For short infusions, this factor won’t be very important, but keeping an infusion in a sunny window for several weeks could certainly impact the final product.
HOW TO KNOW WHEN YOUR INFUSION IS COMPLETE:
This part is very subjective! There is no “perfect” infusion time since different ingredients infuse at different rates and everyone’s tastes and preferences are different. Keep an eye on the infusion and stop the process when you achieve the color and taste that you like. With lemon, you’ll want a nice strong aroma of lemon zest, and you should see some lemon oils starting to coalesce across the top of the surface as well.
