Servings 2 cocktails
Author Monica C

Ingredients

  • 3 oz Bourbon Whiskey
  • 3 oz Cucumber Juice *
  • 1.5 oz Simple Syrup
  • 1.5 oz Lime Juice
  • 1.5 oz Coconut Milk
  • 1 oz Heavy Cream

Instructions

  1. In a spouted container, pour bourbon, cucumber juice, simple syrup and lime juice. Give this a stir.

  2. In a bowl, mix together coconut milk and heavy cream until combined (milk and cream can be cold, but recommended room temperature)

  3. Add the "cocktail mixture" in the spouted container INTO the milk mixture. Cover with a lid and let it sit in the fridge for a minimum of 30 minutes or UP TO 24 hours.

  4. Grab a fine sieve mesh and line it with a coffee filter. Pour the chilled mixture through the coffee filter and the cocktail should come out crystal clear. This process takes some time, so let it drip at its pace.

  5. Once it has all filtered through, pour your cocktail or leave it in the fridge in a sterile container for up to 2 weeks.

  6. For the cocktail, make a cucumber ribbon, and pour the cocktail over one large ice cube.

Recipe Notes

*The Cucumber Juice was simply fresh pressed cucumber. If you don't have a juice, simply blend up fresh cucumber with a splash of water and strain.

Reminder that all Simple Syrup recipes are a 1:1 ratio of water and granulated sugar.

ALSO, I highly recommend doubly up this recipe! You'll finish off this in one sitting, and remember that the cocktail stays fresh for at least 1 week when refrigerated.
