tried twice: 1st with a lemon that might have been a lemonade lemon, which made it a little sweeter & really lovely, well balanced that preserved with tomato base. Tried a 2nd time with a standard lemon, but was a bit too sour. Shall try 10ml next time for a standard lemon.

I’m going to try this again, and tweak it because I really liked it, but think I can do better. Unlike the review above, I found it too sweet, so added a touch more vinegar. It probably also depends on how ripe your tomatoes are. I also added Scrappy’s Fire Tincture which matched well and complemented the pepper. Next time I’ll cut back on the simple syrup, and carefully watch the balance.

Had to try it. Honestly a little disappointed, but not for the reason you might expect. The biggest problem with this one for me was that between the vinegar and lemon juice, this is a VERY sour cocktail. So much so that it throws the tomato, and the entire drink, way off balance. Proportions could use a bit of tweaking on the recipe but I still think this one has potential.

Made a half because I was a little afraid, but it's growing on me...
