Cucumber Wasabi Vodka Highball

Ingredients

One drink — all oz are US fl oz

• 1½ oz vodka
• 1 oz strained cucumber juice (blend or grate ¼ large cucumber and strain; measure 1 oz)
• ½ oz fresh lime juice
• ¼ oz agave syrup
• ⅛ tsp prepared wasabi paste
• 3 oz chilled club soda
• 1 cup ice cubes
• 1 long thin cucumber ribbon

Equipment

Blender or grater, fine sieve, bar spoon, 12-oz highball glass

Allergens and ingredient notes: Alcohol; prepared wasabi may contain mustard, soy or wheat—check label.

Liquid oz means US fluid ounces (1 fl oz ≈ 30 mL); solid ingredients use the weights or spoon measures listed. Each recipe makes one drink. For adults 21 and over.

Step by step

1. Stir wasabi paste with lime juice and agave until smooth in highball glass. Add vodka and measured cucumber juice.
2. Add ice, top with club soda, and stir gently 2–3 times. Curl cucumber ribbon down inside glass above ice.

The Devotti twist: Wasabi is dissolved into the acid and sweetener first, creating a soft savory heat without clumps.

Make ahead and storage

Serve immediately. Refrigerate unused fresh cucumber juice in a sealed container and use within 24 hours.
