Three Olives Tomato Vodka - on Bite of the BestI’ve sampled some odd tasting vodka’s this year. Cucumber.  Blueberry. But I was intrigued when I heard about tomato flavored vodka and asked for a sample.

“Would it really taste like tomatoes?”  Yes. Spicy tomatoes,

“Would it improve the taste of a bloody Mary?”  Absolutely.

Three Olives Tomato Vodka ($19.99/750ml) is lightly infused with tomatoes, pepper, horseradish and spices making it  flavorful on the rocks and adding a bit more zest and tomato flavor to a bloody Mary.

Here are a couple of drinks to make using the tomato vodka.

Diablo Rojo

Pour 2 ounces tomato vodka into a  glass, top with bloody Mary mix, a few drops hot pepper sauce and a few sliced jalapenos.

Bloody Martini
2 oz. Three-O Tomato Vodka
3-4 drops of hot sauce
Dash of spicy Bloody Mary mix

Dip a martini glass into Bloody Mary mix then into a Creole spice (to add an extra spice kick to the rim).  Pour 2 ounces tomato vodka into a shaker; add ice, 3-4 drops of hot sauce and dash of spicy Bloody Mary mix. Shake and strain into martini glass.
