Add that tomato juice to a #large bowl{} along with @lemon juice{2%oz}, @champagne vinegar{1%oz}, @simple syrup{1%oz}, @vermouth{10%oz}, @gin{35%oz}, @water{5%oz}, and @black pepper{6-8%cracks}. To #large container{}, add @milk{12%oz}. Slowly pour the tomatini into the milk in slow, circular motions. Let it sit at room temperature for ~{3%hours}. Strain the cocktail through a damp coffee filter. To serve, pour it into a #chilled glass{} over a cherry tomato. Garnish with @olive oil{3%drops}. Feel free to batch this and stick it in your freezer — that way it stays super cold and ready to pour.
