How long will it take for a watermelon to absorb a 750ml bottle?!


Question: How long will it take for a watermelon to absorb a 750ml bottle!?
Last night I cut a hole in the top of a 10lb seedless watermelon and stuck a bottle of rum in it but so far it hasn't gone down more than about 2 inches!. I was trying to serve it tonight!. How long is this supposed to take!? I thought that perhaps the hole on the top was too small creating a vacuum so I made another slightly larger hole on the side and put the bottle in!. It still doesn't seem to be making a difference though!.Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Try using a funnel rather than a bottle to avoid an airlock

I've done this using vodka before but it still took about 2 days, I think it depends on how ripe the melon is!.

If it's nice and fresh and juicy it takes ages,
If it's a bit overripe some of the juice has evaporated and the alcohol soaks in a bit quicker

If you really need it for tonight and it doesn't go down try cutting out the flesh and adding it and the rum to a blender!.

It comes out like a delicious alcoholic fruit smoothy slush puppy kind of thing and you can serve it in glasses with a spoon!
