Hot New Miami Drink - Yellow Tomato Martini

by Lara on July 11th, 2007

I can see it now - my thinner, sexier, dangerous dame self - on a terra cotta patio overlooking a giant inground pool. I’m tanned and dewy, wearing a white slinky dress with my long, dark hair cascading over my shoulders. In my hand? The hottest new drink in Miami - The Yellow Tomato Martini. What’s better than a sexy martini when you’re schmoozing at an outdoor after-dinner party, in the middle of summer, listening to your favorite crooners melt your heart? (Okay, so this drink would be just as sexy in jeans and a cami with my hair up in a bun, but damn - aren’t fantasies great?)

Yellow Tomato Martini Recipe Anywho - it reminds me a little bit of a funked up, spicy Bloody Mary, but different.

Yellow Tomato Martini Recipe
1 1⁄2 oz Ketel One vodka
2oz Fresh juiced (or blended and strained) yellow tomato
1/3 of a bar spoon of alaea sea salt
