These tomatoes dipped in vodka aren't my idea, and I don't recall where it came from, but it gets raves at parties. One of the great things about it is even in winter you can buy edible cherry tomatoes (I think the Nature Sweet brand is the best) so it's a year-round appetizer. Although they do involve alcohol, it's only a touch - literally. And it's hard to imagine an easier dish. (Larger image.) Serves 6 - 10.
