chilled watermelon is a real treat on a sultry day.
Ingredients
Directions
Wash the watermelon thoroughly with soap and running water. Then wipe it dry with a paper or regular towel.
Take the cap from the bottle of the alcoholic beverage you plan to use. Place it on top of the watermelon and circle it with a marker.
Using a corkscrew or any other convenient method, make a hole at the intended size in place of the outlined circle. Separate the peel and some of the pulp.
Insert a wooden or metal skewer into the hole in the watermelon. Push it through the pulp until it stops. When doing this, be careful not to pierce the skin on the back of the watermelon. This procedure must be done several times, while with a skewer it is necessary to pierce the watermelon pulp in different places. This will allow the alcohol to circulate freely inside the watermelon.
Tilting the watermelon slightly to one side, insert the neck of the bottle of alcoholic drink into the hole made in the watermelon as deep as possible. This must be done so that the bottle is securely fixed in the watermelon.
Place the watermelon in such a way that the bottle is in the watermelon with the neck down. Leave the watermelon in this position until the alcohol has completely drained inside the watermelon. This should take approximately 30 minutes.
When the bottle is empty, take it out. Cover the watermelon with the previously cut piece of watermelon rind. Refrigerate the watermelon and let sit for at least an hour. It is best to leave it to infuse overnight.
