Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients
- 1 large cucumber (peeled and chopped)
- ½ cup freshly squeezed lime juice
- ¼ cup simple syrup
- ½ cup gin
- 1 cup club soda
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint (optional)
Instructions
- Blend Ingredients: In a blender, combine the peeled and chopped cucumber, freshly squeezed lime juice, simple syrup, gin, and chopped fresh mint if using. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Strain Mixture: Pour the blended mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing gently with a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible, removing cucumber pulp to ensure a smooth texture for the popsicles.
- Add Club Soda: Gently stir the club soda into the strained liquid to incorporate the fizz without losing too much carbonation.
- Fill Molds: Pour the mixture into popsicle molds, leaving some space at the top to allow for expansion during freezing. Insert popsicle sticks securely.
- Freeze: Place the molds in the freezer and allow them to freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until the popsicles are fully solidified.
- Release Popsicles: To remove the popsicles from the molds, run warm water over the outsides of the molds for a few seconds to loosen them. Enjoy immediately.
Notes
- For a non-alcoholic version, omit the gin and increase the amount of club soda to maintain the volume and fizz.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of simple syrup according to your taste preference.
- Use English cucumbers if you prefer a milder and sweeter cucumber flavor.
