I had high hopes for these, based on the reviews, so I made them for a Christmas Eve brunch. Maybe I didn't pierce the tomatoes deeply enough, but I felt as though they hadn't soaked up any of the vodka, even though I had marinated them overnight. They didn't taste bad, but they didn't get rave reviews either - mostly people said that it was an "interesting idea". I might try these again, but I'll be bringing a second dish just in case.

This was the top appetizer at a New Year's Eve party. I wasn't able to attend the party but I wanted to drop off an appetizer anyways. Boy, was this an easy one to do. I cleaned the cherry tomatoes, sent along a bottle of vodka, put the seasoning mix in a small plastic bag and included the toothpicks. I asked the hostess to poke the holes in the tomatoes and pour the vodka over them about 2 hours before serving. (I just noticed that the directions say 6 hours before serving. Ooops!) I also included a small bag of kosher salt for dipping and asked the hostess to put a few drops of hot sauce in with the vodka.
