Ketel One Botanical Cucumber & Mint is one of our favorite ways to pour something light and refreshing at Camp West, our cabin-inspired cocktail bar in the West Seattle Junction. Made by the Nolet family at their distillery in Schiedam, the Netherlands, this is the same wheat-based Ketel One you know, distilled with real botanicals and infused with the crisp essence of cucumber and a hint of fresh mint. There is no added sugar, no artificial sweeteners, and no artificial flavors, which makes it a clean, garden-fresh pour that feels right at home on our shelf.
About the Distillery
Ketel One is produced by the Nolet Distillery, a family operation in Schiedam that traces its roots back to 1691. Across eleven generations, members of the Nolet family have personally signed off on the vodka, a level of hands-on attention that has built the brand its reputation for quality and consistency.
Base & Production
The base spirit is Ketel One Vodka, distilled from 100 percent wheat in copper pot stills, then filtered over loose charcoal and rested before bottling. For the Cucumber & Mint expression, each botanical essence is obtained naturally through extraction and distillation, so the flavor comes from the botanicals themselves rather than added sugars or syrups. It is made with 100 percent non-GMO grain.
Tasting Notes
Expect a bright, clean nose led by cool cucumber and a lift of garden mint. The palate is crisp and dry, with the smooth wheat backbone of Ketel One carrying through to a refreshing, lightly herbal finish. It drinks easy and never tastes sweet.
How to Enjoy It at Camp West
Pours are $11. We love this one with soda and a squeeze of lime over plenty of ice for an easy, low-key sipper. It also makes a wonderfully refreshing twist on a martini or a vodka spritz, and our bartenders are happy to build a custom cocktail around its cucumber-mint character.
