On November 12, LPM Restaurant & Bar will host its first-ever Tomatini Day, commemorating the signature savory cocktail that has captivated taste buds around the globe since its creation in 2010. This celebration marks a significant milestone for the restaurant group, which draws inspiration from the French Riviera and is now a culinary landmark across ten global locations.
Partnering with Ketel One Vodka, every guest dining at LPM that day will receive a complimentary Tomatini or TomatiNO as part of the festivities. At the heart of the celebration lies the iconic Tomatini, a cocktail crafted by acclaimed bartender Jimmy Barrat, who was inspired by the simple pleasures of home and the vibrant flavors of the Mediterranean. The drink features a harmonious blend of freshly muddled Campari tomatoes, a hint of salt and pepper, three-year-old white balsamic vinegar, and a touch of simple syrup, all expertly shaken with Ketel One Vodka.
The Tomatini, celebrated for its unique twist on the traditional Bloody Mary, has seen sales soar by 30% in the last year, suggesting its status as a modern classic is firmly established. Notable fans include celebrities like Charli XCX, Harry Styles, and Beyoncé, further cementing its place in popular culture.
Tibor Krascenics, Global Bar Manager at LPM, reflects on the cocktail’s journey, stating, “The Tomatini’s popularity continues to grow exponentially year after year, evolving into an iconic symbol of the playful yet sophisticated experience we offer.”
As the day approaches, LPM looks forward to inviting guests into a world where every sip of the Tomatini embodies the laid-back glamour of the French Riviera, and where innovation meets tradition in every glass.
