Rum-Soaked Spring Watermelon image

We bought a watermelon a little too early in the year and the flavor wasn't up to snuff. This is a handy dish to bring to parties or an afternoon of decadent lounging by yourself.

Time P1DT5m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

1/2 large watermelon
2 cups fruit juice (Sunny D, Tampico, crystal light, white grape, etc.)
1 cup rum (spiced or fruit flavored are nice)

Steps:

  • Place watermelon on its side and make vertical slices of your desired thickness.
  • Cut these slices into quarters and stack to fit in a large non-reactive bowl.
  • In separate bowl, mix the rum and citrus beverage (we used Mango Tampico and Bacardi Superior for irony's sake).
  • Pour this mixture over the watermelon slices, making sure that all the slices are immersed/covered.
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and put it in the fridge overnight.
  • Serve the slices on a plate (keep in mind that they will leak the mixture as they warm, so cover them if you'll be traveling with the plate to avoid spillage).
