Tomato Bloody Mary Ice Pop Recipe
Just add a glass of vodka, and you're all set
It's a hot, humid Saturday morning, and you've got a pounding headache.
Imagine if you could just pull a cool, crisp, savory tomato ice pop out of the freezer—and then drop it into a chilled glass of vodka. Now that's what we call some serious hair of the dog—an ideal brunch play on the poptail trend.
This recipe takes advantage of the abundance of tomatoes we have right now, playing off the classic flavors of the Bloody Mary: horseradish, black pepper, Worcestershire and jalapeño for some heat. The ice pops are still great without alcohol for a handheld alternative to summer gazpacho. Just make sure you're picking ripe tomatoes for a true punch of flavor.
