Can you think of anything more delectable, more joyous, or more satisfying than a fresh, perfectly ripe, juicy, fragrant tomato? Nor can I! To me, tomato season officially means summer. And summer means dips in the lake, a rotation of vegetables on the grill, and the never-ending, relentless search for the perfect dress that is simultaneously flattering and bag-like. When I think martini, however, I don’t immediately think “Yum, refreshing!” Well, you guessed it—I’m here to change your mind. The key to this martini-ish summer cocktail is making sure that it is colder than cold. I recommend that your sherry, dry vermouth, and Lillet Rosé come straight from the fridge when mixing this recipe up, so if you’re using unopened bottles, definitely chill them beforehand. Tomolives are bright and briny pickled green tomatoes that make a great garnish—also best served cold!
