Ah, the long, hot days of summer may finally be upon us (fingers crossed) it got me thinking about camping and camping usually involves a drink or 2 (3,4,etc) so I've always heard about spiked oranges at Christmas so why not spiked watermelon? perfect for a hot day in the sun or at a party with adults

How to Spike a Watermelon.
1 medium seedless watermelon (drunk people can't handle the seeds)
a few bottles of your favorite booze (I like cheap vodka)
some adults who like watermelon and booze

1. First off, get yourself a medium sized, seedless watermelon. Next, using a pairing knife, cut a round hole in one of the side walls of the watermelon. Do not cut too deep, just deep enough to clear the rind and to create a plug. Make sure to cut a round hole and not a square or a triangle because those shapes tend to cause your watermelon to crack.

2. Using a corkscrew, remove the plug from the watermelon and cut off or eat the pink flesh, leaving just the rind plug. Using a long handled spoon you would use to mix a glass of iced tea, scoop out some of the watermelon flesh. This creates a little bowl of sorts for your liquor to be poured into the watermelon. Three to five spoonfuls should do the trick.

3. Next, using a skewer, poke holes into the flesh at various angles to create channels for your liquor to flow. Think of your watermelon like Venice, Italy only with booze canals instead of trash infested sea water. Make sure to be careful when using the skewers. You do not want to poke too far and go through the rind.

4. Time to put the booze in. Pour about one (1) cup of your favorite liquor in the hole, I prefer vodka but some like rum. When pouring the booze in, you may have to pour it slowly and take a few breaks to let it settle and soak into the watermelon.

5. Now, locate the plug you set aside and replace it over the hole. Place the watermelon back in the refrigerator with the plug side facing up. You can wrap the plug portion of the watermelon with plastic wrap when transporting it to the tailgate party to keep the plug in place. Once parked, slice the watermelon as you normally would and serve it up. If there are kids around make sure you bring a second watermelon and keep those slices separated from the “adult slices”.

Hey! I've been making it wrong all these years I add way more than a cup of liquor.

Also you can pur liquor of your choice in a bowel and put a fruit you like in it and refrig for a few hours and have fun! Enjoy your summer everyone!

Thank you, this post made me smile

Up north at the cottage the locals call this the backporch drink or the watermelon crawl. I had to ask why the crawl..they just smiled and said wait for it...it..it..As the bonfire was going, I got hungry and started eating all the fruit my plastic glass held. The last thing I remembered was crawling up the stairs to go to bed. Watermelon crawl....haven't had one in 4 years..maybe this summer!
