Vodka Infused Watermelon
INGREDIENTS:
1 large watermelon
1 litre bottle of vodka
METHOD:
1. Sit the watermelon upright, and make sure its stable. If it’s not stable use a few cloths to keep it from rolling. Remove the cap from the vodka bottle to use as a template for the hole. With a marker, draw a circle around the cap on the top of the watermelon. Check to make sure the circle is slightly larger than the widest part of the vodka bottle's neck.
2. Cut around the circle with a knife, digging deep into the melon's flesh. Remove this chunk of rind and flesh and reserve to use as a plug later.
3. Use a long-handled spoon to scoop out enough melon so the vodka bottle's neck can fit inside the hole.
4. Moving quickly, place the bottle of vodka in the hole of the watermelon.
5. Allow the vodka and melon to rest at room temperature for 12 to 24 hours.
6. When you're ready, remove the vodka bottle and place the piece of watermelon saved as a stopper into the hole.
7. Put your vodka-infused watermelon in the refrigerator to chill for a few hours. When ready to serve, slice into wedges and serve!
