Cucumber Shrub

SERVING SIZE:

makes approximately 1 cup

INGREDIENTS:

2 large cucumbers

1/2 cup white wine vinegar

1/2 cup apple cider vinegar

1/2 cup sugar

1 teaspoon kosher salt

"Perfect for pairing with gin. Splash a teaspoonful into your next martini for a subtle addition that will make your martini taste extra fantastic. This shrub is a little more savory than your typical fruit shrub."

INSTRUCTIONS:

Add cucumbers to the blender. Blend till pureed.

Press puree through a fine-mesh strainer into a medium bowl. Add cucumber juice, both vinegars, sugar and kosher salt to a jar or bottle. Shake very well to combine and refrigerate till cold.

Mix with water, sparkling water, sparkling wine or something like rum for a little extra kick. Typically you would use a 1:4 ratio when mixing a shrub mocktail/cocktail, however, taste as you go to find your preferred ratio.
