Good Eats - Raising the Bar Again

• 1 3/4 pounds cherry or grape tomatoes, rinsed and dried
• 2 teaspoons hot sauce
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 to 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice, to taste
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 6 ounces Tomato Vodka

1. Remove the stems from the tomatoes. Put the tomatoes, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, and salt into a blender, cover and blend on high speed for 1 1/2 minutes.
2. Fill an ice cube tray with about 2 cups of the juice and freeze overnight. Pour the remaining juice into a lidded container and reserve, on the counter, overnight.
3. Just before serving, put 3 frozen cubes into each of 4 Collins glasses and add 1 1/2 ounces of vodka to each glass. Stir the reserved juice, pour 4 ounces into each glass and serve immediately.

Comments:

• I believe the measurement on the lemon juice may be wrong. In the episode “Raising the Bar Again,” he calls for 3 teaspoons (not tablespoons) of freshly squeezed lemon juice.
• Still the delicious without the tomato vodka and tomato cubes. I recommend celery salt instead of kosher and a little less then the recommended amount to make this the real deal.
