Spa Treatment Recipe

Infuse

Place 1 cup peeled sliced cucumber into a clean jar. Pour 12 oz (about 1.5 cups) neutral vodka over the cucumber, seal, and store in a cool dark place for 24–48 hours, tasting at 12-hour intervals until a pleasant cucumber aroma and flavor is present.

Once infused to taste, strain the vodka through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a clean bottle. Discard cucumber solids. Store refrigerated and use as needed in cocktails.

In a mixing glass or shaker, add the 3 peeled cucumber slices and 6 fresh basil leaves. Muddle gently 6–8 times — press to release cucumber juices and basil aroma but avoid pulverizing the basil so it doesn't turn bitter.

Add 2 oz house-infused cucumber vodka, 0.75 oz fresh lime juice, and 0.5 oz basil simple syrup to the shaker. Add a handful of ice (enough to chill & dilute properly).

Shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds until well chilled.

Double-strain into a chilled Collins or highball glass filled with fresh ice to remove small basil bits and cucumber solids.

Top with approximately 2 oz soda water (adjust to taste) and give one gentle stir to combine.

Garnish with a cucumber ribbon or wheel and a fresh basil sprig. Optionally slap the basil sprig between your palms before garnishing to release its aroma.
