    Uses liquid from the book's "Scandi cucumber salad" for cucumber pickling liquid. Can substitute vodka or aquavit for gin.

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Definitely striking to look at, but too salty for my taste. I could see making this again with half the cucumber liquid. To be fair, I made a different cucumber recipe that I now realize calls for 50% more salt than Nigella's. Made both gin and aquavit versions and preferred the gin. This drink went exceptionally well with pickled herring on crisp bread.
