12 ounces cranberry juice (no sugar added)
a few good splashes of club soda or perrier
1/2 cup fresh lime juice (from about 4 limes)
Orange rimmer, for serving

Steps:

  • Bring sugar and 1 cup water to a boil in a small pot. Reduce heat, and simmer, stirring until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat, stir in grated cucumber, and let cool. Pour through a fine sieve into a bowl or large glass measuring cup, and discard solids (you should have 2 cups syrup). Cucumber syrup can be refrigerated up to 3 days. Combine cucumber syrup, vodka, soda, and cranberry and lime juices in a 2-quart pitcher. Cocktail can be refrigerated up to 8 hours. Serve over ice, and garnish with orange rim and cucumber wedges.
