Ingredients 1 cup sugar 1 cup water 2 cups grated English cucumber (about 1 cucumber), plus cucumber wedges, for garnish 9 ounces vodka, chilled 12 ounces cranberry juice (no sugar added) ½ cup fresh lime juice (from about 4 limes) Ice, for serving Directions Bring sugar and water to a boil in a small pot. Reduce heat, and simmer, stirring until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat, stir in grated cucumber, and let cool. Pour through a fine sieve into a bowl or large glass measuring cup, and discard solids (you should have 2 cups syrup). Cucumber syrup can be refrigerated up to 3 days. Combine cucumber syrup, vodka, and cranberry and lime juices in a 2-quart pitcher. Cocktail can be refrigerated up to 8 hours. Serve over ice, and garnish with cucumber wedges. Rate it Print
