Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Trim off and discard the ends of the cucumber and peel off the skin. Cut the cucumber in half lengthwise. Use a small spoon to scoop out and discard the watery seeds in the center.
- Roughly chop or slice the peeled and seeded cucumber.
- Put the chopped cucumber in a large glass container with a tight-fitting lid.
- Pour the vodka over the cucumber. Seal the jar and let sit in a cool, dark space for at least three days and up to two weeks (any longer and the vodka will take on a slightly bitter taste).
- Strain the vodka back into its original bottle or another clean bottle. Discard or eat what can now be considered the "pickled" cucumber whose flavor was infused into the vodka.
