Tomatoes may be divisive, but fans of the fruit are a passionate and motivated bunch. William Schragis, founder of beverage design consortium Project Optimist<\/a>, grew up with a personal obsession for tomatoes. He even hosted a tomato-themed birthday potluck dubbed Tomato-Fest, where he first experimented with tomato water in cocktails. After more than a year of R&D, Schragis honed a method to \u201ccapture the freshness that makes in-season tomatoes so special.\u201d And Covalle Tomato-Water Gin was born.<\/p>\n

Made by pulverizing fresh tomato leaves and stems into a pulp with apple and cucumber, the mixture is pasteurized, clarified, and blended with a London dry gin<\/a>. The resulting spirit is brightly herbaceous, with its vegetal notes balanced by a crisp, fruity sweetness. Originally released in small batches in New York and New Jersey last spring, the gin sold out quickly. Now partnered with importer Back Bar Project, Covalle Tomato-Water Gin has rolled out nationally. Grab a bottle to celebrate summer with a savory Martini<\/a>, a vegetal Gin & Tonic<\/a>, or a spritz<\/a> that sings of the season. 700ml\/$39.99, covallegin.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n
