EFFEN Cucumber is a Dutch wheat vodka with the essence of freshly harvested, vine-ripe cucumbers, imported from Holland and bottled at 75 proof (37.5% ABV).
EFFEN is known for its innovative flavors, and Cucumber was ahead of the curve when it launched. The vodka is made in the Netherlands from premium wheat, using a continuous distillation process and natural ingredients for a smooth taste on the palate.
The base spirit is continuously distilled and carbon filtered several times, then flavored with natural cucumber before bottling. The result is a cool, crisp vodka that tastes fresh and savory rather than sweet.
Expect the clean scent of fresh-cut cucumber on the nose, a cool, crisp palate of vine-ripe cucumber over a smooth wheat base, and a light, refreshing finish.
EFFEN Cucumber creates a refreshing take on classic cocktails. Mix it with soda water, tonic or lemon-lime soda for a cool highball, or stir it into a Martini for a crisp twist. It pairs well with melons such as cantaloupe and watermelon, so try it in a watermelon cooler or a cantaloupe and mint smash. It also makes a bright Cucumber Gimlet with fresh lime, a garden-fresh Bloody Mary and an easy spa-style spritz with sparkling water, lime and basil. Serve it with sushi, poke, Greek salad, smoked salmon or chilled seafood. Keep a bottle in the freezer for summer gatherings, poolside afternoons and patio parties, where its light, crisp flavor is always welcome. For a crowd, fill a pitcher with EFFEN Cucumber, fresh lime juice, a little simple syrup and sparkling water, then add thin cucumber ribbons, mint leaves and plenty of ice. Garnish each glass with a cucumber wheel for a cool, elegant drink that comes together in minutes.
