A firm favorite of mine, this cucumber vodka drink aka The Fig and Olive cocktail, is really something special! Not only do the flavors of blood orange and cucumber work so well together but also the olive oil just turn this easy drink into an amazing tipple!

Fig & Olive is one of my favorite restaurants in Los Angeles. It’s perfect for a light dinner or fun business meeting. We stopped in last week for a delicious lunch and to learn about olive oil through a tasting, which we’ll be featuring soon! They were so gracious to allow us to share the recipe to my favorite cocktail, that actually has olive oil in it!! The flavor combination of blood orange and cucumber is perfect! I’m going to start keeping these ingredients on hand so I can quickly whip up the Fig & Olive Cocktail for guests!!

Olive Oil Cocktail

Olive oil cocktails are very much here! It sounds weird at first, but it works because the pronounced and unique flavor profiles of olive oil (EVOO) can be a strong player in food and beverage recipes. There’s a long history of savory cocktails that take cues from the food world, and olive oil can enhance drinks in a similar fashion.

Cucumber Vodka Drink – Perfect For A Brunch Cocktail

Bloody Mary’s, Mimosa’s and Caesar’s … they all have their place at the brunch table, in fact they pretty much own it, until now! This cocktail has a lovely mix of blood orange and cucumber, while the flavor of the olive oil brings in a unique savory taste. Give it a whirl!

An Easy Cocktail

This cucumber cocktail takes just a few minutes to whip up – mix, shake and serve – that’s it! Plus, you’ll have most of the ingredients to hand. Some of the key items like the blood orange olive oil, can be bought and stored up, ready to roll at a moment’s notice, for a delicious cocktail!

Top Tips For A Cucumber Vodka Drink

  • Make sure to choose a good quality cucumber vodka, to keep a fresh and subtle flavor. Rather than some cheaper brands that taste unnatural.
  • Choose a sturdy mixing glass when muddling.
  •  If you don’t have a pestle, a small, flat wooden tool is ideal, such as the end of a wooden spoon.
  • Garnish with a stick of celery
