Tomatini: A Tomato Cocktail

In 2010, bartender Jimmy Barrat created this zingy, French Riviera-inspired tomato cocktail for LPM Restaurant & Bar in Dubai. His approach was to celebrate the tomato as a ripe, warm-weather fruit. Instead of a savory drink, à la the Bloody Mary, Barrat plays up the tomato’s sweetness, complemented with white balsamic vinegar and a touch of simple syrup. The cocktail has gone on to be a favorite around the world, including the new LPM location in The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.
