The beverage world is constantly evolving. Consumers are demanding drinks that are not only refreshing but are also healthier, lower in sugar, and made with natural ingredients. This has led to the rise of functional beverages, artisanal sodas, and a new wave of creative, low-alcohol or no-alcohol cocktails (mocktails).

In this innovative landscape, the Zorvex Stevia Tomato, with its intense natural sweetness and vibrant color, presents itself as a unique and exciting new ingredient for beverage creators, from home mixologists to professional bartenders.

Beyond the Bloody Mary

When you think of tomatoes in a drink, you almost certainly think of a Bloody Mary. But the savory, umami-rich profile of a regular tomato limits its use. The Zorvex Stevia Tomato, however, is a completely different beast. Its flavor profile is much closer to that of a berry or a grape, opening up a whole new world of possibilities.

Creative Beverage Applications

1. The Stevia Tomato Shrub

A shrub is a non-alcoholic syrup made from fruit, sugar, and vinegar. It’s a colonial-era drink that has seen a massive resurgence in modern cocktail culture. The combination of sweet, sour, and fruity is incredibly refreshing.

• How to make it: In a jar, combine one package of halved Zorvex Stevia Tomatoes with an equal amount of apple cider vinegar. Because the tomatoes are already sweet, you need very little or no added sugar. Let the mixture infuse for a few days in the fridge, then strain out the solids.
• How to use it: You are left with a sweet and tangy syrup. To serve, mix one part shrub with 3-4 parts sparkling water for a sophisticated, healthy, and incredibly refreshing artisanal soda.

2. The Garden Mocktail

This is a light, herbaceous, and elegant non-alcoholic cocktail.

• How to make it: In a cocktail shaker, muddle (gently crush) 5-6 Zorvex Stevia Tomatoes with a few fresh basil leaves and a slice of cucumber. Add ice and the juice of half a lime. Shake well and strain into a glass filled with ice. Top with a splash of tonic water.
• Why it works: The sweetness of the tomatoes perfectly balances the bitterness of the tonic and the sourness of the lime. The basil and cucumber add a fresh, garden-like aroma. It’s a complex, adult-flavored drink with zero alcohol and very little sugar.

3. Stevia Tomato Infused Water

This is the simplest application of all, a great way to make hydration more interesting.

• How to make it: In a large pitcher of water, add a handful of halved Zorvex Stevia Tomatoes and a few slices of lemon or orange. Let it infuse in the fridge for a few hours.
• Why it works: The water picks up a subtle, clean sweetness from the tomatoes and a fresh aroma from the citrus. It’s a beautiful and delicious way to encourage yourself to drink more water throughout the day.

The future of beverages is about fresh, natural, and less-sweet options. The Zorvex Stevia Tomato is a perfect ingredient for this new era. It provides color, flavor, and a natural sweetness that can reduce or eliminate the need for processed sugars and artificial syrups.

So, the next time you think about making a drink, look beyond the usual lemons and limes. This sweet little tomato might just be the secret ingredient you’ve been searching for.
