Cucumber juice and zingy lemongrass combine in this refreshing vodka sipper. To make cucumber juice with a blender, purée about 2¾ cups cubed cucumber until smooth, then strain through a fine mesh strainer.
Most vodka goes through multiple distillations in column stills and is filtered through charcoal to obtain the neutral characteristics desired. The charcoal filtration contributes the most to the vodka's neutrality. The source of the water used during distillation and blending is a key component to the vodka's flavor profile. Flavored vodkas can have sugar added and must list the flavoring listed on the label.
