Covalle Tomato Water Gin

Covalle Tomato-Water Gin is an innovative, contemporary spirit that brings a sophisticated, garden-fresh twist to classic gin cocktails. Developed by spirits expert Will Schragis as part of the creative Project Optimist series, this Brooklyn-born craft gin expertly marries a traditional London Dry base with an intensely aromatic "tomato water" blend. Rather than relying on heavy cooked fruit flavors, the production team utilizes fresh tomato leaves, stems, crisp apple, and cucumber pulp—clarified through a centrifuge—to capture the true essence of a summer garden. Balanced with a botanical bill of juniper, coriander, angelica root, citrus peels, and a touch of wildflower honey, this non-chill filtered gin opens with the striking aroma of sun-warmed tomato vines, giving way to a lush palate of sweet berries and green cardamom before settling into a crisp, dry, herbal finish. Housed in a bottle adorned with a whimsical, hand-drawn coastal label by Creative Director Eli Dreyfus, Covalle offers a savory, umami-rich complexity that serves as the ultimate upgrade for an extraordinary Martini, Red Snapper, or Negroni.
