How do you properly spike a watermelon with vodka?
is a certain kind of watermelon or vodka better to use? How exactly do you do it?????? any special recipes?
Answers:
1 bottle (750 ml) vodka (I suggest you use Smirnoff. Trust me. It’s the best mid range mixer vodka)
1 10 lb. or larger, chilled, whole, watermelon, with seeds (seedless won't work
Cut a plug from the watermelon about 2-inches deep and the shape of the bottle opening. (I held the cap against the melon and traced it with the knife to get the exact size the cut should be) Save the plug (rind) that you cut out. Push a long wooden spoon handle into the hole. Cut another plug about 20 degrees from where you cut the first one. Save that cut out too. This is just for air flow, you will just plug this hole up when you are done.
Turn the bottle (carefully and slow) upside down and stick it into the first hole you cut into the melon. Push it down tight. Let it drain in. If your melon takes the vodka fairly fast, you can push the plugs back in. Also do this if you want to transport it. If not eaten in 2 days will become very mushy.
