Preparation
- Step 1
Rim a 16-ounce glass by moistening the edge with a lime wedge, then dipping the glass into a small plate filled with equal parts salt and pepper. Into the same glass add the tomatoes, herbs and lime sections, then muddle, gently, until the mixture is equal parts juice and solids. Add ice, stir, then add the gin, and stir again. Top with the tonic water.

Very refreshing and a great way to use up some of my home grown tomatoes and herbs. I like the pepper rim.
Interesting drink! Good use of our garden heirloom tomatoes and basil.
