Default Excess cucumber

I shredded a bunch of cucumbers and put them into vodka. Let sit for a few

Yum. Any good cocktail recipes to go along? We have loads of cukes right
now, and I am using them every which way. This sounds like a good use
for us, as we're hoping to do various vodka infusions with our garden
produce.


Cucumber vodka is fairly popular at infusion bars. It is good
just served up, but the most common combinations I see are
with mint or ginger.

For example: cucumber vodka, muddled mint, a small amount of
bar syrup and a bit a of soda water.
