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 Alcohol Infusions

Lilac Infused Alcohol

Lilacs are not only beautiful and fragrant but they make a lovely infused alcohol. When making a lilac infused alcohol try infusing gin in addition to vodka. There are two methods to infuse alcohol and I share both methods in this recipe.

Sous Vide Cucumber Infused Gin

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.

Sous Vide Grapefruit Infused Gin

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

Peach Moonshine Recipe

This peach moonshine recipe is super simple, is ready in as little as 2 hours and tastes like a liquid peach crisp meets a college party. 

Sous Vide Vanilla Extract

Making this sous vide vanilla extract recipe will give you homemade vanilla extract in less time. This easy vanilla recipe is perfect as a homemade gifts to give, a foodie gift or even as a hostess gift. Always have homemade vanilla in your cabinet for all your baking recipes.

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.

Sous Vide Vegetables Recipes

Sous Vide Pickled Onions

Making sous vide pickled onions is faster than making a refrigerator pickled onions. Precision temperature in a short amount of time will produce a crisp, flavorful pickled onion.

Sous Vide Potatoes with Rosemary

Sous vide potatoes are the perfect side dish to your favorite entree. These potatoes are infused with flavor, creamy on the inside and crisp on the outside. You may never roast a potato again!

How To Cook Asparagus Using Sous Vide

With the help of this sous vide asparagus recipe your asparagus will be tender, crisp and full of flavor. I find this is a fail proof way on how to cook asparagus.

Sous Vide Fajita Vegetables

Sous vide fajita vegetables will change the way you make fajitas! Full of flavor, crisp, tender and charred all at the same time these delicious fajita vegetables pair perfectly with sous vide flank steak fajitas. 

Spicy Pickled Banana Peppers Recipe

This is the easiest pickled banana peppers recipe. These are the best pickled banana peppers because they are crips, spicy and ready in hours instead of days.
