Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Refreshing Cucumber Lemon Vodka Cocktail.
Step 1
Start by filling a cocktail shaker with ice cubes to chill your drink. This is the first step to ensuring your cocktail is refreshingly cold.
Step 2
Next, pour in 1 1/2 fluid ounces of vodka, followed by 1/2 fluid ounce of simple syrup for a touch of sweetness. Then, add 1/2 fluid ounce of freshly squeezed lemon juice to bring in that zesty flavor.
Step 3
Now, toss in 5 slices of cucumber and 2 slices of lemon. These fresh ingredients will infuse your cocktail with a delightful aroma and taste.
Step 4
Cover the shaker tightly and shake it vigorously until the mixture is well chilled. This should take about 15 seconds, and you’ll hear the ice clinking as you shake.
Step 5
Once chilled, pour the cocktail into a Collins glass filled with ice. The vibrant colors of the cucumber and lemon will make it visually appealing.
Step 6
To finish, top your drink with a splash of club soda for a refreshing fizz. Give it a gentle stir to combine the flavors without losing the bubbles.
Step 7
Garnish with additional cucumber or lemon slices if desired, and enjoy your refreshing cucumber lemon vodka cocktail on a warm day!
