Gazpacho shooters are a perfect way to kick off a summer party. I like to start a summer party with cheese, crackers, hummus, and some grapes or cherries. Just as I put the meat / fish on the grill for the non-vegetarians in the group (which is usually everyone), I bring out a pitcher of gazpacho and little glasses. If the gazpacho is more puree than chunky, guests can drink it right from the glass. But I like my gazpacho a little chunky, so I serve it in a short glass with a spoon.

Nothing better than gazpacho in the summer! My oldest doesn't like tomatoes, but he can sometimes be cajoled into eating gazpacho when served in tiny portions like this. 🙂

It's funny - my husband doesn't really like tomatoes either, but he loves gazpacho, tomato sauce, and tomato soup. And yes, the smaller portions might help with your oldest too 🙂

Thanks so much Liz! I make it every summer once I see great heirlooms coming into the markets 🙂 And yes, shooters are so fun and a great way to switch up appetizers for everyone.
