Flavored Vodka is getting very popular these days. The flavor of the week: cucumber.
Until recently, if you wanted a cucumber-scented cocktail you had to buy Hendrick’s Gin or infuse the drink yourself. Square One Cucumber Vodka, a new organic rye-based vodka, has a clean cucumber aroma and tastes great on the rocks or with tonic and a slice of cuke. I can also imagine martini lovers enjoying it with a half-ounce of sweet vermouth. Probably not a good fit for Cosmo fans.
