By Dolores Quintana
Telefèric Barcelona Brentwood has invited you to embark on a taste adventure like no other as they unveil their latest creation: Toma Tomate. Inspired by Spain’s legendary ‘La Tomatina Battle,’ they’ve masterfully blended two tomato-infused classics—the iconic Bloody Mary and Spain’s renowned chilled soup, Gazpacho—into a single extraordinary cocktail. This very special cocktail will only be available until September 3 and is made of clarified gazpacho, spicy vodka, Fino sherry, celery bitters, verjus, a spicy rim, and half-cherry tomato. If you are tired of overly sweet cocktails, this savory cocktail might be just the thing for you. The restaurant is located at 11930 San Vicente Boulevard.
Some of the suggestions from the Spanish tapas restaurant for your meal this weekend that is being served this weekend and goes best with the Toma Tomate cocktail are Iberian burgers over onigiri socarrat, salmon, cauliflower cream & Ibérico ham, paella mixta made with pork, chicken, gulf shrimp, and octopus. For dessert? Rice pudding with crema Catalana foam & jelly
