Ingredients
- 1 pint vodka
- 8 wild lime leaves
- 2 inches fresh ginger root minced
- 1 1/4 c. sugar
- 1 1/4 c. water
- 1 large cucumber
- 2 limes sliced
- 1 liter club soda
Instructions
- Combine the lime leaves with the vodka in a mason jar or other tightly sealed container. Let infuse for at least one day, up to four days.
- Heat the ginger, sugar, and water in a small saucepan until boiling. Reduce to low and let simmer for five minutes. Let cool.
- Meanwhile, peel the cucumber so that no green peel remains (it should look almost white). Halve the cucumber lengthwise and use a spoon to scoop out the seeds. Slice each cucumber half lengthwise into long strips, then cut crosswise into a fine dice. Make sure the cucumber pieces are big enough that they won't get sucked up through a straw.
- For each drink, muddle 1 tbsp. cucumber in the bottom of a glass. Add 1.5 oz (one "shot") of the infused vodka, followed by 1 oz. of the cooled ginger syrup. Add ice to the brim, then top with 3 oz. club soda. Garnish with a lime slice and additional wild lime leaves if desired.

Notes
- For the Lime Vodka Cocktail, store the infused vodka in a cool, dark place for up to a month. The ginger syrup can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
