Trend - Bloody Mary bites - exciting appetizer!


"Bloody Mary" bites will get noticed.
This quick and easy appetizer will be the hit of any cocktail party. I served these at a small mixer and everyone (who enjoys alcohol) loved them. Not only does the presentation get attention, but these little bites are delicious. One guest thought they were so wonderful that she gave them a name, "Bloody Mary" bites.

What you need:
30-40 small Cherry Tomatoes
2 cloves fresh Garlic, smashed but not cut or sliced
1 1/2 teaspoon Sea Salt
1 1/2 teaspoon White Pepper
750 ml Grey Goose Vodka (or other high quality Vodka)
1 dash Worchestire Sauce
Hot Sauce (optional)
Fresh Parsley Sprigs
Lemon Pepper Seasoning (served in a high ball glass
Toothpicks (placed in shot glass)

Preparation:
Cut a shallow cross shape in the top of each tomato, put them in a large airtight bowl and add the whole smashed garlic, salt, pepper and worchestire sauce. Add a couple dashes of hot sauce (optional) and the Grey Goose. Place lid on and refrigerate for 24 hours, stirring occasionally.

When you are ready to serve I would suggest a nice tray (serving style) and I use an over sized Martini Glass (can be found at most craft-type stores). I strained the tomatoes (saving the remaining liquid) and poured into the Martini Glass. Add a shot glass with toothpicks, a high-ball with your lemon pepper seasoning and cocktail napkins. The seasoning is for the tomatoes to be rolled in if your guests like? This cute little station will get so much attention and it is such an easy appetizer.

I always make these up on Thursday evening for the weekend or if I know I am having guests. This is a great little app to bring to a friends cocktail party for some added pizazz! Enjoy
