Wash all fruits thoroughly under cold running water and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Prepare the watermelon by using a melon baller to create watermelon balls, or dice into bite-sized pieces.
Slice the strawberries in half, peel and slice the kiwis, and chop the fresh mint leaves finely.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pineapple chunks, watermelon balls, strawberries, blueberries, kiwi slices, and fresh mint.
In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, honey, and your choice of vodka (or other spirit). If desired, add grenadine or orange liqueur for additional flavor.
Pour the spiked dressing over the fruit mixture and gently toss until the fruits are evenly coated.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator to chill for at least 1 hour. This allows the flavors to meld together and enhances the juicy, spiked taste.
Before serving, gently toss the salad again to redistribute the dressing. Garnish with a few whole mint leaves for presentation, if desired.
Serve chilled in individual bowls or as a centerpiece dessert. Enjoy responsibly!
