Blood Orange Cucumber Crush
A unique blend of sweet, tangy blood orange juice, crisp cucumber slices, and a hint of fresh herbs. It's enhanced with a dash of vodka, balanced by a subtle sweetness from simple syrup, and finished off with a splash of soda water for that fizzy touch.
- 2 blood oranges
- 1 small cucumber
- 2 ounces vodka
- 1 ounce simple syrup
- fresh herbs (mint or basil work well)
- ice
- soda water
- Peel and slice the blood oranges and cucumber. Reserve a few slices for garnish.
- In a cocktail shaker, muddle together most of the blood orange slices, cucumber slices, and a couple of fresh herb leaves.
- Add the vodka and simple syrup to the shaker. Fill with ice.
- Shake until well mixed and chilled, about 30 seconds.
- Strain into a glass filled with ice, top off with soda water.
- Garnish with remaining blood orange and cucumber slices and a sprig of fresh herbs.
It was fairly easy to follow and didn\’t require any hard-to-find ingredients, which I appreciated. The flavors were okay, but not as robust as I\’d hoped.
Thank you for giving the recipe a try!
The flavors were well-balanced and the dish was hearty and satisfying. However, the cooking time in the recipe was a bit off – it took me longer to cook than stated. Also, I felt it needed a touch more spice.
I\’m glad you enjoyed the dish! Apologies for the cooking time discrepancy, I\’ll make sure to revise it.
