UpAndAdam Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 I am thinking about trying a Gin that uses cucumber and watermelon juice instead of water to proof down my boiler after maceration, has anyone tried this? i am obviously afraid of getting a vegetal/stew flavor but thought i would ask the experts. we have a shredder and press so i want to make use of it and watermelon and cucumber have a water content in the 90% range so the yield would be worth the time. Thoughts? ideas? guidance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beach Time Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 I've read that Hendricks uses a cucumber extract they purchase. I'd try infusing these after distillation and after main dilution but before final gauge dilution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic.Distiller Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Late to the party here, but I'd try macerating cucumber peels if your original plan didnt work out. The peels have a more concentrated cucumber crisp flavor, whereas the juice you run the risk of it tasting rancid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
