refreshing starter

Wash the cucumbers and roughly peel them. You can leave some of the green peel on to give them a nice color. Cut the cucumbers into coarse slices and puree them finely using a hand blender or a blender. Place the mixture in a sieve and let it drain, trying to get as much liquid out as possible. Mix the drained mixture with vodka, salt, sugar, and lemon juice and season with pepper. The mixture should ideally be frozen overnight. Remove from the freezer about half an hour before serving and let it thaw. Dip the ice cream scoop or spoon into hot water and serve the sorbet. This goes wonderfully with salmon or salmon trout with dill cream.
