Cocktail recipe

Rating

3.63 / 5
The fresh taste of this cocktail makes it excellent for warm summer days or relaxing moments. I think the recipe is Polish: the person who showed me how to make it is Polish and recommended Polish vodka for it. I named it after her since she never mentioned what it was called.

FAQ's

Ingredient substitutions icon

Can I substitute the vodka in the Justyna cocktail with another type of alcohol?

Yes, you can substitute the vodka in a Justyna cocktail with a light rum or gin for a slightly different flavor profile while maintaining the cocktail's crisp and refreshing taste. The choice of substitute should ideally complement the cucumber and Lemon-Lime soda flavors.

Garnishing tips icon

What garnishes work well with the Justyna cocktail?

A garnish of fresh cucumber slices or a lemon twist can enhance the appearance and aroma of the Justyna cocktail. Additionally, a sprig of mint can add a refreshing aroma and a touch of color.

Serving suggestions icon

What is the best way to serve the Justyna cocktail?

The Justyna cocktail is best served cold in a highball glass, over ice. It's important to ensure the cucumber slices are fresh for the best flavor and presentation. Stirring gently before serving helps to mix the flavors without diluting the drink too much.

How does the alcohol content of the Justyna compare to that of a standard cocktail?

The Justyna cocktail has an alcohol content of 10%, which is relatively low compared to many classic cocktails that typically range from 15% to 30% alcohol by volume (ABV). This makes Justyna a lighter option, suitable for occasions when you prefer a milder drink.

Occasion suitability icon

For what occasions is the Justyna cocktail most suitable?

The Justyna cocktail, with its refreshing taste from cucumber and Lemon-Lime soda, is perfect for summer gatherings, outdoor events, or as a daytime drink at brunches. Its light and refreshing nature makes it ideal for occasions when you want a less intoxicating option.
