8 oz of Vodka

2 lbs Tomatoes, cored and cut in half

4 Jalapeno Peppers, sliced

Salt

several small yellow Tomatoes, halved and cored

fresh Basil leaves

In a jar, cover the jalapeño slices with vodka. Let stand for three hours, then strain. In the meantime, puree the 2 lbs of Tomatoes in a food processor, then filter the puree through a fine sieve into a large measuring cup. Once you have a clean juice, pour it into ice cube trays and freeze until firm. This might take three hours so do this while you are marinating the Peppers.

When finished, discard the Peppers and put the Vodka, Tomato ice cubes and fresh Basil in a blender. Blend until smooth and season with a few dashes of the salt. if the drink is very thick, add a little water and blend again. Once it is smooth and creamy, pour into glasses, garnish with cherry tomato halves and basil flowers and serve.
