Number Of Ingredients 2

Ingredients

1 seedless watermelon
1 ½ cups rum, or as needed

Steps:

Rinse the outer rind of the watermelon thoroughly, and pat dry. Set the watermelon in a position so it will not roll over. Press the tip of a funnel through the rind of the melon. If using a plastic funnel, you may need to cut a hole.
Situate the melon on a towel in the bottom of the refrigerator or on the counter. Pour rum into the funnel a little at a time, refilling as it seeps into the melon. I start the afternoon before, since we usually leave to go to events in the morning. Allow the melon to marinate at least a few hours, before removing the funnel. Slice just before serving.

RUM-SOAKED SPRING WATERMELON

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

Ingredients

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).
