Best Watermelon Crawl Aka Spiked Watermelon Recipes

WINE SPIKED WATERMELON

Steps:

• Cut a hole in a ripe watermelon and insert a funnel.
• Pour in as much wine as possible, and let it sit in the fridge, adding more wine every three to four hours as it's slowly absorbed. (A 10-pound melon can soak up one standard bottle overnight.)
• Slice the watermelon for a refreshing chilled party nosh, or freeze the flesh as a terrific base for blender drinks.

SPIKED WATERMELON

Steps:

• Cut a hole in the top of the watermelon, wide and deep enough to insert a funnel.
• Pour as much vodka through the funnel as can be absorbed (1/2 cup to 1 cup), remove the funnel and replace the watermelon plug, Let sit for 4 hours and again, pour is as much vodka as can be absorbed, Repeat the process until all the vodka has been absorbed, (eventually all the vodka WILL be absorbed).
• Refrigerate and serve well chilled.
• When it's time slice it up and enjoy.
• NOTES: You can also use a food injector, this works well or you can cut a hole big enough to hold the neck of a fifth of vodka, allow it to sit 6-12 hours, 24 being better, serve with the bottle sticking out of the watermelon, You can experiment with liquors, I have heard rum works well too.

DRUNKEN WATERMELON

Steps:

• Place the melon in the bottom of the cooler. Using a sharp knife, or apple-coring tool, carve a 1 1/2-inch hole in the top of the melon through the center of the melon. Open the vodka and place the neck of the bottle in the hole. Use rolled towels to keep the bottle upright in the melon.
• Fill the cooler with ice and cover the ice with aluminum foil and newspapers to keep the cold inches (This is assuming the cooler will not close because of the bottle).
• Leave overnight for vodka to be absorbed into the melon.
• Remove bottle and cut melon in half, then cut flesh into chunks (or use melon baller if desired). Mix in large bowl with sliced lemons and cilantro if desired.
• Note: Leftover "water" in the serving bowl makes a refreshing cocktail; serve over ice.

DRUNKEN WATERMELON

Steps:

• With a knife, shave off the stem end of the watermelon, just enough so that it sits flat. Cut the top off the watermelon, about 3 inches down. Scoop out half of the watermelon with a melon baller and set aside.
• Scoop out remaining watermelon, leaving the rind-bowl. This will be your punch bowl. Transfer scooped out melon (not the melon balls) to a blender and puree; may be done in batches. Push watermelon puree through a strainer to remove pulp and any seeds. Return watermelon water to the watermelon punch bowl. Stir in tequila, triple sec, and melon balls. Top off with lemon-lime soda. Serve cold over ice.

BOOZY WATERMELON PIRATE SHIP PUNCH

Steps:

• Carving the watermelon: Select a ripe, oblong watermelon that has a flat bottom. Carve off the top quarter of the watermelon and set aside to use for sails.
• Scoop out all of the watermelon innards and set aside for making punch. Once the watermelon's empty, use a pumpkin carving set to carve notches and portholes into the sides of the watermelon to make it look like a pirate ship.
• For the sails, scrape out the 1/4 shell of watermelon rind down to the white portion. Cut sails from either end of this piece and thread them through skewers. Stick the skewers into the bottom of the watermelon (being careful not to poke through the bottom) and use extra pieces of rind for stability.
• Make the punch: Add 2 cups of the reserved watermelon to a blender with mint.
• Puree until mint is finely chopped and watermelon is frothy.
• Strain watermelon and mint mixture through a sieve.
• Pour 6 cups of watermelon-mint juice into large pitcher and add lime juice and vodka.
• Pour this mixture into the carved watermelon, add large ice rounds and top with prosecco.
