Cucumberthulu - Halloween Drink 2022

The recipe for the Cucumberthulu

• 1,01 fl oz Smokecraft vodka
• 1,7 fl oz cucumber juice
• Juice of half a lime
• 0,68 fl oz dry vermouth
• Ginger Beer

Shake all ingredients except the ginger beer over ice and strain into an Old Fashioned glass. Carve Cucumberthulu from cucumber and lime and garnish with it. "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cucumberthulu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn." roar. Wait briefly to see if the Destroyer of All Life rises from his dark tomb in the sunken city of R'lyeh. Infuse with ginger beer. Drink. Repeat in Cucumberthulu's awesome name.

How does it work and what other Halloween drinks can I make this way?

The drink presented here is basically a cucumber juice version of the Moscow Mule with smoky vodka, for a little more "BURN, YOU UNBELIEVERS!" romance.

However, you can use just about any green cocktail for this Halloween drink - a Gin Basil Smash, for example.

The real fun is the Cucumber Cucumberthulu. For this one, cut two small holes in the end of a cucumber for eyes (cloves make great pupils) and a mouth.

Use lime zest and cucumber peel as tentacles. If you hollow out the cucumber from the inside, you can pull the tentacles through the mouth and they hold better.

Now you put the little bastard on your slimy drink and the cocktail decoration is ready.

But this is more for the small party among close friends.
If you have to carve 30 of these things over the course of the evening, you'll really wish the Prince of Darkness would take all the party monkeys home to the sea.
