10 minThree ingredients and ten minutes stand between you and the most unexpectedly addictive appetizer your guests will talk about for weeks.
Blanching tomatoes for just seconds loosens their skins while keeping the flesh firm and juicy.
That freezing vodka dip shocks your palate awake before the crunchy salt crystals hit, creating this wild contrast of temperatures and textures in one tiny package.
Party Tips
- Use the smallest cherry tomatoes you can find so they’re true one-bite wonders
- Keep vodka in the freezer until the moment you serve so it stays ice cold and slightly syrupy
- Set out toothpicks in a separate holder so guests aren’t double-dipping into your communal vodka bowl
