Reviews
Summer would not be summer without this cocktail!!!!
Great flavor! I have not tried it with Vodka yet but I bet that would be good too!
This might work with vodka. All I can say is that is clashed completely with Bombay Sapphire gin. Avoid.
I thought this was refreshing, this could be the next craze in martini’s.
What a great martini! I prefer it made with vodka, as it lets the heirloom tomato really shine through.
The heirloom martini was so good and refreshing. I wasn’t sure about the orange liquor but it gave a really nice sweetness to the drink.
Sounds like a real winner.
