Test Kitchen Notes

Helen's All Night Diner gives us an ingenious way to enjoy a fresh and powerful bloody Mary housed in a cherry tomato. By using a syringe to inject a home-brewed fresh horseradish vodka generously laced with black pepper and a little cayenne, the tomato becomes the cocktail. If you get clinical, you can decide just how strong to make each cherry tomato. If you inject 48 tomatoes each with a teaspoon, then you could consume 6 tomatoes would give you 2 tablespoons or one ounce. Depending upon how much vodka you can inject in each tomato, you can calculate your portions. By letting the injected cocktail rest inside the tomato for an hour, these do pack a delicious punch. A very neat and clever recipe! - Sagegreen —Sagegreen
