Mott's tomato juice

Mott's tomato juice is the familiar canned-tomato branch of the juice aisle: savoury, thick enough to feel substantial, and built for people who already like tomato juice as a drink rather than as a cooking ingredient. By our assessment, it works because the flavour is clear and the product has the well-known Mott's name on a type that does not need much dressing up. The downside is the same one that comes with almost every tomato juice: it is an acquired taste, and the salt-and-tomato profile can feel heavy if someone wants something bright or refreshing. In practice it is the kind of drink that sits well very cold and is often treated as a breakfast or mixer staple. Compared with vegetable blends, it is narrower and more tomato-led; compared with fruit juice, it is much less cheerful. It is a sensible pick for tomato-juice regulars, and not for anyone hoping for sweetness.
