It’s Not A Party Unless There’s a Vodka Watermelon
Posted on 03 July 2008 by joy
Vodka watermelons remind me of two things: frat boys and the 4th of July holiday. Fortunately, this weekend, I’ll get to enjoy the 4th of July holiday with a loaded watermelon, sans frat boys.
Grab a watermelon on sale at the grocery and ’season’ it with as much or as little vodka as you see fit. Keep the slices in the cool fridge before serving so they’re extra refreshing out by the pool.
Vodka Watermelon
recipe from Jamie Oliver
1 large, ripe watermelon–give it a smell and slap to check for ripeness
1 bottle best quality vodka (or even champagne)
Simply cut a hole in the top of the melon, wide and deep enough to insert a funnel. Pour some of your chosen alcohol into the melon through the funnel, leave to sit for a day and pour in some more. The flesh will absorb the liquid, so pour in some more the next day–basically until it becomes saturated. When ready to serve, slice up into nice big pieces and refrigerate until serving.
