Watermelons are tasty. Spiked watermelons are tasty and fun. Here is how to create the ultimate party treat.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Step 1

Take a large watermelon and cut open a square about the size of large pencil eraser.
Step 2

Fill a cooking syringe with vodka or rum. Using a flavored vodka, such as grape or watermelon vodka, tastes great with watermelon.
Step 3

Inject the alcohol into the "panel" you opened. Repeat this 7 to 8 times, depending on the size of the melon and how alcoholic you want it to be. The alcohol will soak through the melon.
Step 4

Refrigerate the spiked melon overnight to allow the fruit to soak the alcohol thoroughly.
Step 5

Serve the spiked melon the next day. Don't forget to give potential drivers a heads up.

Tips & Warnings

You may also opt to spike the watermelon when it is already cut. You can pour the alcohol over two halves, or over slices or over cut-up pieces. You can even use a melon baller and pour vodka over the balls. Again, leave the soaked fruit in a refrigerator overnight.
