Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups cucumber, peeled and chopped
- 1/2 cup fresh lime juice (about 4 limes)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 cup dry gin
- 10 fresh mint leaves
Instructions
- Blend cucumber: Place peeled and chopped cucumber chunks in a blender and process until smooth to create a fresh cucumber base.
- Muddle mint and sugar: In a bowl, gently muddle the fresh mint leaves with granulated sugar using a muddler or the back of a spoon to release the mint oils and blend the flavors.
- Combine ingredients: Mix the blended cucumber, fresh lime juice, dry gin, and muddled mint-sugar mixture thoroughly to incorporate all elements evenly.
- Freeze popsicles: Pour the combined mixture into popsicle molds and place them in the freezer for 4 to 6 hours or until fully solidified.
Notes
- Adjust the sugar quantity based on your preferred sweetness.
- Use peeled cucumber for a smoother texture and less bitterness.
- Ensure popsicle molds are well sealed to prevent freezer odors from affecting the flavor.
- For a non-alcoholic version, omit the gin and replace it with sparkling water or tonic.
- Allow the popsicles to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before unmolding for easier removal.
