I am so excited for the upcoming summer tomato season, I can hardly contain
myself. For this bright and refreshing tomato-forward cocktail, a ripe heirloom
tomato is blended and then strained through a fine mesh strainer to create a tomato
base. Chilled gin, cucumbers, and lime juice are added to create the final cocktail.
