    Making homemade cucumber infused gin is super easy by the traditional method but when you need cucumber infused gin in a shorter amount of time, try this sous vide method.

    Making homemade cucumber infused gin is super easy by the traditional method but when you need cucumber infused gin in a shorter amount of time, try this sous vide method.

    Now that you have made a sous vide infused alcohol, the my recipe for homemade limoncello and grapefruit infused gin both use the sous vide cooking method. Be sure to check out my complete collection of sous vide recipes. Be sure to check out my complete collection of sous vide recipes.

    Sous Vide Cucumber Infused Gin

    I love a refreshing gin and tonic and experimenting with gin infusions has expanded the customization of my favorite gin cocktail. Sous vide infused gin is the fastest way I have found to make a custom infused gin.

    Cucumber Gin

    I use the freshest cucumber you can find. A perfect way of using up the over run of cucumbers that come out of the garden in the summer!

    If you don't have a garden fresh cucumber, be sure to wash off the wax coating on the cucumber. No one wants wax in gin.

    For 4 ounces of gin I thinly slice 1 inch of cucumber. You can use your fancy knife skills or use a mandoline set on a paper thin setting.

    Glass Jar

    I am using a 4 ounce canning jar for this cucumber infused gin recipe. But the beauty of sous vide is that you can also use a zip top or food saver bag to do the infusion.

    Place the cucumbers in the canning jar or bag.

    If you are using a zip top bag, be sure to use a clip to secure the bag to your sous vide cooking container.

    If you are making a larger batch of infused gin, I recommend one inch of cucumber per 4 ounces of gin. Just my suggestion.

    Gin Infusion

    I am using bottom shelf gin for this recipe.

    Add 4 ounces to the canning jar with your layers of finely sliced cucumber.

    Place on a lid and a ring. Finger tighten.

    If you are using a bag with out sealing it, use the water displacement method of closing the bag and removing the air.

    Sous Vide Cucumber Infused Gin

    Set your sous vide to 150 degrees Fahrenheit. Once the water has come to temperature, place the jar or the bag in the water and process for 2 hours.

    Once the 2 hours is up, strain out cucumber infused gin and store in an air tight container.

    Cucumber Gin & Tonic

    I pour 1 ounce of cucumber infused gin over ice and top the glass with tonic water.

    Garnish with a fresh slice of cucumber.
