Bar Mixology
Brewch Cucumber excels in gin and vodka-based cocktails, delivering authentic botanical character at just 3-13 drops per standard pour. Build into a cucumber gimlet for a sophisticated twist, or shake with vodka for depth and complexity.
For mocktails, the subtle to medium profile pairs well with sparkling juice and a touch of capsicum for that signature virgin bite. Add 3-10 drops per 100ml to the shaker before ice for full integration, or float 2 drops on top as an aromatic finish.
- Cucumber Gimlet: 4-6 drops per serving
- Vodka sodas and gin tonics: 3 drops for a subtle accent
- Simple syrup: 1 part Brewch to 50 parts syrup for bar service
Cucumber Gin Gimlet: Shake 4 drops Brewch Cucumber with 60ml gin and 20ml fresh lime juice over ice. Strain into a chilled coupe with a cucumber ribbon.
Sparkling Water and Seltzer
Transform plain sparkling water into a refreshing flavored seltzer with just 2-5 drops per 100ml. Add after carbonation and stir gently to preserve effervescence. For home seltzer machine users, add flavoring to the bottle after carbonating, then invert once to distribute.
Hard seltzer producers can scale to 8-12 drops per liter, adding post-fermentation before final carbonation. The water-soluble formula integrates cleanly without cloudiness, maintaining the crystal-clear appearance consumers expect.
- Subtle accent: 2 drops per 100ml for a hint of cucumber
- Full flavor: 5-6 drops per 100ml for complete profile
- Smoothies: 5-8 drops per 8oz blended with ice and fruit
Spa Cucumber Water: Add 3 drops Brewch Cucumber to 350ml sparkling water. The essence of a luxury spa experience in every sip.
The sugar-free, keto-friendly formula makes Brewch Cucumber ideal for health-conscious consumers seeking natural flavor without calories or artificial sweeteners.
Homebrew Applications
Add Brewch Cucumber post-fermentation to preserve the delicate flavor compounds that would otherwise be driven off during active fermentation. For a 5-gallon batch, start with 30-40 drops and adjust to taste before packaging.
Particularly effective in gose, lager, pilsner where the botanical profile complements the brew character. The probiotic-safe formula makes it ideal for kombucha secondary fermentation at 4-8 drops per gallon.
- Gose: 35-45 drops per 5-gallon batch
- Lager: 30-40 drops for a subtle accent
- Kombucha 2F: 4-8 drops per gallon
- Hard cider: 35-45 drops per 5-gallon batch
Cucumber Gose: Add 30 drops Brewch Cucumber to a 5-gallon gose at packaging. The cool cucumber notes complement tart, salty character.
Add during transfer to secondary or directly to the keg or bottling bucket. The water-soluble formula disperses evenly without additional mixing.
