Like a bottled version of a Caesar, Japan's Toma Toma Sparkling is a combination of alcohol and tomato juice that's pre-mixed.
The bottled concoction is new in Japan, introduced on July 15th as a healthy alternative to some of the other alcoholic summer drinks out there. Even though some people are totally put off by the idea of having any vegetables in their drinks, the fact that there's alcohol in this one might be a game changer. Besides, the bottles would be so easy to grab and bag for a picnic. There's about 27% tomato juice in each bottle and it has about a 4% alcohol content—there's no telling what's in the rest of the drink, but maybe it really is just like a Caesar.
