Tomato Martini

When tomatoes are at their juicy summer peak, they're too good to save just for salads and sandwiches. This savory tomato martini transforms the season's best produce into an elegant cocktail with bright, fresh flavor and just the right amount of briny complexity. Whether you're hosting a dinner party, serving appetizers on the patio, or simply looking for a cocktail that feels a little unexpected, this tomato-forward drink is a delicious way to toast tomato season.

Use either a London Dry Gin such as Beefeater (its crisp, clean flavor will stand out against the sweet, acidic tomato) or a botanical-style gin such as Hendrick’s (its cucumber-forward flavor will complement the tomato nicely, making the drink similar to a Bloody Mary).
