MICHAEL'S BLOODY MARIA

Steps:

• Place tomatoes, jalapenos, and fennel in a bowl. Season liberally with pepper, salt and the Worchestershire sauce. Coat with olive oil, tossing lightly. Put a few of the tomatoes in the blender and liquefy - this will make it easier to puree the rest of the solids. Add the fennel/tomato/jalapeno mixture to a blender and puree until liquefied. Store in refrigerator up to 6 hours until chilled.
• Hint: If you can find them, heirloom tomatoes can really boost the flavor of this drink. Heirloom tomatoes are typically varieties that were grown over 50 years ago, before tomatoes were bred for ease of picking and distribution. Heirlooms tend to be a little more acidic than modern commercial tomatoes, and often the fresh tomato flavor is more pronounced.
• Assembling the cocktail: Rub a cut lemon around the rim of a chilled martini glass. Dip the glass, upside down, in salt or your favorite spice rub. Slice the tip of a red jalapeno pepper vertically and slip over the rim. Place 1 or 2 of the jalapeno ice cubes in each glass, pour chilled bloody maria mixture on top, and top each glass with 1 ounce of lemon vodka. Stir carefully and serve.
• Hint: If you don't have lemon vodka, use regular vodka and squeeze a little lemon juice in each glass.
• Remove the tops and stems of the jalapenos and slice. Place the water in a blender and add the jalapenos, seeds and all. Add the lemon to the blender, peel and all. Add the basil, a pinch of salt, and some ground black pepper, to taste. Puree in the blender until everything is incorporated. Strain through a sieve and pour into ice cube trays and freeze overnight until solid.

BLOODY MARIA WITH MINI SLIDER GARNISH

Steps:

• In a cocktail shaker, stir together the tequila, harissa paste, tomato juice, lime juice, Worcestershire sauce, celery salt, horseradish, onion and Tabasco. Divide among 4 ice-filled highball glasses. Garnish with Mini Sliders.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Toss the cherry tomatoes with the horseradish, shallot and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Place the tomatoes in a baking dish and roast until they are just wilted, about 5 minutes. Allow to cool to room temperature.
• Divide the ground beef into 4 even patties slightly wider than the buns (the beef will shrink during cooking); do not overwork the meat, handle it just enough to form the patties. Season the patties liberally with salt and pepper on both sides.
• Heat a griddle or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Place a small amount of clarified butter or canola oil into the pan or griddle, and sear the burgers on both sides until charred. Transfer burgers to the oven and cook until they reach your desired temperature, about 4 minutes for medium rare.
• Allow the burgers to rest for 5 minutes. In the same pan, toast the buns until golden brown. Brush one side of the buns with mustard, and place the patties on the buns. Top with slices of preserved lemon, followed by the tomatoes. Cover with the bun tops and skewer one cornichon on a wooden skewer and use it to secure the slider. Serve warm.
