hot tomatoes!
I just made another round of those tomato drinkies.
Boy, they're good. I'm posting the recipe, even though it's not mine.
Muddle up in a glass - 3 or 4 Sweet 100 cherry tomatoes, 10 or so cilantro leaves and a sprinkle of kosher salt. Then add ice and a slice of habanero chile (don't muddle it unless you want it screamingly hot!), an ounce and a half of silver tequila, 1/4 ounce orange liqueur (the recipe calls for Cointreau, I used Patronge because that was all I had), and 1/4 ounce fresh lime juice. Shake until cold. Strain into a salt-rimmed cocktail glass. I also garnished with a couple of the tomatoes on a cocktail pick.
Thanks, Absinthe guys! You rock!

That sounds like a very complicated drink. One of my secret reasons (oops not a secret anymore) that I like martinis is that even after I've had two martinis I can still manage to make a third. On the other hand, after three martinis I sometimes forget what not to do and make a fool of myself.
