INGREDIENTS
1 small tomato, quartered
3/4 cup tomato juice cocktail, chilled
2 Tbsp. minced fresh cilantro leaves
1 small garlic clove, chopped
1/4 jalapeño pepper (or to taste), chopped
1/4 tsp. ground cumin
juice of 1/2 fresh lime (about 1 Tbsp.)
small wedge of fresh lime and a cherry tomato for garnish (optional)

DIRECTIONS
1. Freeze tomato in a plastic bag until hard, about 3 to 4 hours. (They will keep up to one week. Several tomatoes may be frozen at a time.)
2. Place frozen tomato, juice, cilantro, garlic, jalapeño, cumin and lime juice in a blender. Purée until well blended and almost smooth.
3. Pour into a tall tumbler filled with ice cubes. Garnish, if desired, with a small wedge of lime and a cherry tomato, speared on a short skewer and added to the glass like a swizzle stick. Serve immediately.

*Note: Recipe can be multiplied to make more servings, but you may want to cut down on garlic and jalapeño if you do.
