"In an Instagram video with over 10,000 likes, cookbook author Molly Baz showed off her recipe, which she called a "Fro Blo Mo." As she chopped up the tomatoes, watermelon, and celery before placing the ingredients in the freezer, Baz specified that she was using overripe tomatoes that were "on the verge" of rotting. Because tomatoes aren't the sole focus, it doesn't matter if they aren't at their ripest and juiciest. In fact, their creamier texture is beneficial to the drink's outcome."
"Once the tomatoes, watermelon, and celery have hardened, Baz's bloody mary base is thrown into a blender with lemon juice, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, pepper brine, some salt, and gin, resulting in a frozen, creamy drink with a pleasantly pinkish-red color. Baz then adds more salt to the top before serving in frozen glasses rimmed with celery salt, a surprisingly versatile ingredient. For a garnish, she skewers a chunk of fresh watermelon and two yellow cherry tomatoes, laying them across the cup."
Overripe tomatoes can be repurposed into a frozen Bloody Mary called a Fro Blo Mo by combining frozen tomatoes, watermelon, and celery with lemon juice, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, pepper brine, salt, and gin. Freeze chopped tomatoes, watermelon, and celery until hardened, then blend with the seasonings and spirit to create a creamy, pinkish-red slushy. Serve in glasses rimmed with celery salt and garnish with a chunk of fresh watermelon and yellow cherry tomatoes. Swap gin for vodka or add vermouth for extra booziness, and adjust tomato-to-watermelon ratio to taste.
