These vodka-spiked cherry tomatoes offer a sophisticated and refreshing twist on a classic summer appetiser. By lightly blanching and peeling the tomatoes, you allow the bright marinade of vodka, lemon zest, and white-wine vinegar to penetrate the fruit, resulting in a burst of clean, sharp flavour in every bite. The addition of a coarse pepper salt for dipping provides a savoury contrast that elevates the natural sweetness of the tomatoes while keeping this a refined, low-sugar treat.
As an elegant party nibble, this dish is ideal for those seeking a lighter alternative to traditional heavy hors d'oeuvres. The vibrant colours of mixed cherry and grape tomatoes make for a beautiful presentation on any garden table. Serve these tomatoes well-chilled on a warm evening alongside a crisp glass of dry white wine for the ultimate seasonal snack.
