These tender, potent little orbs make a splendid Bloody Mary—esque addition to a beach-blanket picnic or a fancy cocktail party, and they tend to disappear in no time flat. Blanching them makes quick work of slipping off their skins.

Cooks' note:

Tomatoes can be peeled and vodka marinade prepared 1 day ahead and kept separately, chilled.
