How to Make (Easy) Tomato Water For Cocktails: Video How-to

There are many ways to make tomato water, some more precious and labor intensive than others. I like to keep things simple at home, because if the steps to making a great cocktail get overly complicated, I'm less likely to make it at all. This method of making a tomato water for cocktails involves fresh, ripe tomatoes and actual H2O. A pinch of salt if you're feeling frisky.  

Check out the video below for a full walk-through. 

Tomato Water

3 small fresh, ripe tomatoes (preferably from the garden), about 6-7 oz

1/2 cup water

pinch of salt (kosher or sea salt)

Blend all ingredients until the tomato is completely pureed. Strain through a mesh tea strainer and store in the fridge for up to 48 hours. Makes about a cup (8oz) of tomato water.
