Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Seedless watermelon
- 750 ml Vodka (or liquor of choice)
- 1 medium Lime
- 5 sprigs Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Slice a thin layer off the bottom of the watermelon to create a flat base so it can sit securely upright.
Using a sharp knife, cut a circular hole about 2-3 inches in diameter into the top of the watermelon, similar to removing the top of a pumpkin for carving.
Scoop out some of the watermelon flesh through the hole (about 1-2 cups worth) to create space for the liquor infusion.
Insert a funnel into the hole created on top of the watermelon.
Slowly pour the vodka (or liquor of choice) into the watermelon through the funnel, allowing time for the liquid to absorb. This may take 20-30 minutes of intermittent pouring to avoid overflow.
Once the alcohol has absorbed, cover the hole with plastic wrap and refrigerate the watermelon for at least 2 hours to allow further infusion and to chill it completely.
Before serving, slice the watermelon into wedges or cubes, depending on your preference.
Squeeze fresh lime juice over the watermelon slices for a tangy kick and garnish with mint leaves for added freshness, if desired.
Serve chilled and enjoy responsibly!
