Ingredients
1 whole watermelon, seedless
25.4 oz vodka, (1 bottle)
Preparation
Place your watermelon on a sturdy surface, preferably if it has a flatter side.
Grab the vodka cap and place it atop the middle of the watermelon. Trace the size of the vodka spout, preferably using a marker.
Use a small, sharp knife and cut a hole about an inch or so deep. Cut no wider than you traced.
Using a long knife or a barbecue skewer, poke as many holes as you can in the hole you just cut. This is to make sure that the vodka seeps into the fruit.
Test if the vodka is actually going inside the watermelon, fill a funnel with vodka, and wait until it seeps into the watermelon. If the funnel is not emptied, you have to poke more holes into it until it’s emptied.
Once done, uncap the vodka, and at a slight angle at first, slowly insert the bottle into the hole, making certain it will fit tightly.
Then level the melon and push the bottle down so that the neck is embedded enough to stay upright on its own.
The vodka will slowly drain into the watermelon.
Refrigerate the infused watermelon for at least 8 hours overnight or up to 24 hours before serving for prime flavor.
You can serve it in slices, cubes, or simply cut off the top and stick straws into the fruit. Enjoy!
