Herbal Vodka Cucumber Slushies

This beverage is a chilled, slushy cocktail made by blending vodka with fresh cucumber, basil, and other herbal infusions. The final texture is icy and smooth, with a vibrant appearance and layered flavors that unfold with each sip, thanks to the freshly blended ingredients. It combines the crispness of cucumber with the aromatic qualities of herbs for a refreshing, semi-frozen drink.

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Combine peeled and chopped cucumbers, torn basil leaves, vodka, simple syrup, lime juice, and ice cubes in a blender.
  2. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth, icy, and well combined, with a slushy texture that looks frosty and vibrant green from the herbs.
  3. Pour the mixture into chilled glasses, allowing the frostiness and color to create an appealing presentation.
  4. Garnish with additional basil leaves or cucumber slices for a fresh, decorative touch.

Notes

For a less sweet version, reduce the simple syrup; for extra herbal flavor, add more basil or experiment with other herbs like mint or thyme.
