Easy Vodka Spiked Watermelon Recipes

SPIKED WATERMELON

Steps:

• Cut a hole in the top of the watermelon, wide and deep enough to insert a funnel.
• Pour as much vodka through the funnel as can be absorbed (1/2 cup to 1 cup), remove the funnel and replace the watermelon plug, Let sit for 4 hours and again, pour is as much vodka as can be absorbed, Repeat the process until all the vodka has been absorbed, (eventually all the vodka WILL be absorbed).
• Refrigerate and serve well chilled.
• When it's time slice it up and enjoy.
• NOTES: You can also use a food injector, this works well or you can cut a hole big enough to hold the neck of a fifth of vodka, allow it to sit 6-12 hours, 24 being better, serve with the bottle sticking out of the watermelon, You can experiment with liquors, I have heard rum works well too.

LEMON-MINT VODKA SPIKED WATERMELON

Steps:

• Dissolve the sugar in the lemon juice. Pour out 1/4 cup vodka and add the lemon mixture and the mint sprigs to the bottle. Cap, shake, and let sit from 1 hour to overnight for the flavors to develop.
• Cut a plug from the watermelon about 3-inches deep and as big around as the top of the bottle. Upend the bottle into the hole and let it sit for a couple of hours or until most of the vodka lemonade has been absorbed into the watermelon. Re-plug the watermelon and refrigerate it for a few hours. Slice and serve.

EASY VODKA SPIKED WATERMELON RECIPE

Steps:

• Stabilize the watermelon on your work surface using a dishcloth or something similar to keep it from rolling.
• Remove the cap from the vodka bottle, and trace a circle around it on the top of the watermelon using a marker. Make sure the hole is just slightly wider than the neck of the bottle.
• Using a sharp knife, cut around the circle, making sure to get all the way through the tough rind. Remove the "plug" of the rind, and save it for later.
• Rotate the watermelon so that the hole is tilted to the side. Quickly insert the neck of the bottle into the watermelon, and then rotate the watermelon so that the bottle is vertical.
• Allow the vodka to infuse into the watermelon for at least 12 hours.
• After infusing, carefully remove the bottle, being cautious of spills, and replace the "plug" that was cut out of the rind.
• Place the watermelon in the refrigerator for a few hours to chill before slicing and serving.
