Ingredients

  • Ice cubes
  • 1 1/2 ounces gin
  • 1 teaspoon dry white vermouth
  • 3 ounces Tomato Water, recipe follows
  • 2 tablespoons tomato based vegetable juice (recommended: V-8)
  • 1/2 lemon, plus a twist for garnish
  • Couple drops Pernod, optional
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Hot sauce
  • Garnish: Olive, cherry tomato, and cocktail onion on a swizzle stick or toothpick

Directions

Fill a cocktail shaker or small pitcher with ice cubes. Add the gin, vermouth, tomato water, vegetable juice, and a healthy squeeze of lemon juice. Add a couple drops of Pernod if desired--it adds a nice background flavor, but more than 1 or 2 drops will overpower the drink. Season with salt, pepper, and a dash of hot sauce.

Cover and shake vigorously until mixed and chilled, about 30 seconds. (In general, the drink is ready by the time the shaker mists up.) Strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Add the olive, tomato, and onion garnish. Drink.

Tomato Water:

1 (28-ounce) can tomatoes

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Pinch sugar

Puree the tomatoes and their juices with the salt and a pinch of sugar. Line a small sieve with a coffee filter and set over a bowl. Pour the tomato into the sieve and set aside to strain, about 3 hours. Discard the solids and save the tomato liquid. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Yield: about 2 cups

    I love tomatoes so I was anxious to try this recipe and it was delicious! I did not use the Pernod. One can of tomatoes makes about enough tomato water for 3, maybe 4 drinks, so plan accordingly.
