Longbottom

Longbottom & Co is a UK-based premium tomato drinks brand producing what it claims to be the world's only freshly pressed tomato drink. The company crafts its products using Canary and Pear tomatoes, pressed and blended within two hours of the tomato orchards to ensure optimal freshness. This commitment to proximity between harvest and production is a central differentiator in a category dominated by industrial, concentrate-based competitors.

The core product range includes a Virgin Mary, a ready-to-drink Bloody Mary, and a hot sauce. The Virgin Mary serves as the foundational product — a properly spiced, garnish-blended tomato drink designed to be consumed as a standalone non-alcoholic beverage or as a mixer with spirits such as vodka, gin, or tequila blanco. The ready-to-drink Bloody Mary combines the Virgin Mary base with liquor, offering a convenient, pre-mixed format suited to both on-trade and off-trade occasions. The hot sauce rounds out the portfolio, positioned as a flavour-forward condiment rather than an extreme heat product.

Longbottom & Co places strong emphasis on clean-label formulation. All products are made with all-natural ingredients, free from artificial additives, preservatives, and chemical compounds. The brand explicitly contrasts itself with competitors who rely on industrial processing and synthetic ingredients, positioning its ingredient lists as straightforward and consumer-friendly.

The brand has received recognition from trade and consumer media, earning award-winning status for its Bloody Mary mix. Press coverage has highlighted the product's complex, smoky flavour profile and its suitability as a gold-standard Virgin Mary. The drinks are packaged in cans, making them portable and convenient for picnics, outdoor occasions, and on-the-go consumption.

Longbottom & Co targets both direct-to-consumer and business-to-business channels. Independent restaurant managers are among its noted trade customers, with positive feedback citing ease of service and consistent quality. The brand ships directly to consumers in the UK, with free shipping available above a certain order threshold. Its products are available in multipacks, including a 12x250ml Bloody Mary format, indicating suitability for both retail and hospitality procurement.

The company positions itself within the premium brunch and leisure drinking occasion, aiming to elevate the Bloody Mary and Virgin Mary experience for modern consumers who want flavourful, ready-to-drink options without compromising on ingredient quality.
