A Cucumber Gin Slush is the perfect refreshing drink for hot days or when you’re in the mood for something light, crisp, and slightly boozy. Here’s how to make it:
Cucumber Gin Slush
Servings: 2
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 cucumber (peeled and chopped, about 1 cup)
- 2 oz gin
- 1 oz lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tbsp honey or keto-friendly sweetener (optional, to taste)
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 1/4 cup tonic water or sparkling water
- Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Blend the Ingredients:
- Add the cucumber, gin, lime juice, sweetener (if using), and ice cubes to a blender. Blend until smooth and slushy.
- Adjust Consistency:
- If the mixture is too thick, add a bit more lime juice or sparkling water to loosen it up.
- Serve:
- Pour the slush into glasses. Top with tonic water or sparkling water for a little fizz.
- Garnish:
- Garnish with fresh mint leaves or a cucumber slice for an extra touch of elegance.
Tips
- Make it Ahead: Prepare the slush base (without the tonic water) ahead of time and freeze it in a container. When ready to serve, blend with tonic water for an instant slushy drink.
- Non-Alcoholic Version: Skip the gin and use more sparkling water for a refreshing mocktail.
