Watermelon Two Ways

So on that same bonanza we made Watermelon Two ways. Both were awesome and exciting....kinda like bringing me back to the days of college where experimentation was key...not really taste :)

Vodka infused with Watermelon

750 ml of Vodka and about 4 lbs of Watermelon

Skin and cut up the watermelon into small bits, and toss them in the blender

Pour half the bottle Vodka into the melons.

Blend

Pour the rest of the bottle in.

Blend some more, until its fine.

Strain (for there will be bits of solid watermelon)

Put into a container and chill.

Pour a shot or two into cup*

Mix with sprite and/or water.

****WARNING: do be aware when you're pouring this drink you're basically pouring shots of vodka, don't let the taste fool you, this is potent! As we learned to our joy and sadness.

Watermelon infused with Vodka

750 ml Vodka and

Whole Watermelon (size not a big deal, the bigger it is the more Vodka can be infused though)

Cut a hole (the size of the mouth of the Vodka bottle) in the top of the watermelon so you can see the bright, beautiful redness inside.

Take the top off the vodka, then tightly place the watermelon on top of the bottle of vodka, so it sticks

Turn the watermelon over so the bottle is vertical (see picture) and let it infuse for about 24 hours or more.

You can tap the melon occasionally to spread the vodka more quickly. If the melon is small you won't finish the bottle (we used only half of the bottle)

Take out the bottle after 24 hours.

Chill the melon

Cut into it and enjoy the fruity alco-holy goodness inside.
