This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.

Peel, seed and chop 2 cucumbers. Peel, seed and slice 1 cucumber. Place the chopped cucumber in a bowl and sprinkle with 2 tsp. salt. Place the sliced in another bowl and sprinkle with 1 tsp salt. Let each stand for about 1 hour.
Drain well. Reserve the sliced cucumber. Place broth in a soup pot and bring to a boil. Add chopped cucumbers, mushrooms (optional), salt, and pepper. Cover the soup pot and cook gently over low-medium heat for about 15 minutes.
Cool soup enough to blend. Blend soup in blender. Add extra seasonings (sesame oil, vinegar and ginger) and blend well. Refrigerate soup for a few hours and serve cold with cucumber slices on top. Sprinkle with paprika. Or, reheat soup and serve it hot as the Chinese do.
