Oh, yeah! It's the 4th of July this weekend. Time to get the generations together and tear it up around the neighborhood. Founding fathers, boo yah! Thanksgiving rules because it isn't as nationalistic as the 4th, but the 4th is still high on my list. Food, fireworks, and family... so cousin Ned loses a finger or 2 it's still a blast.
Now to have a real blast you need something to lubricate grandma. A vodka watermelon is good place to start. To make it right you don't need effort, you need time. Patience will be rewarded.
Look's vaguely experimental.
Warning: Look at the size of that bottle. Now look at the size of that watermelon. When you're done a slice is pretty much a shot so keep it away from the kids and don't eat it like you would regular mellon.
Start with vodka flavored vodka. You want the final product to be watermelon flavored.
Find a container that will keep the watermelon from rolling around.
Use the cap of the vodka bottle to trace a circle on the melon.
Cut out a plug.
Get a grapefruit spoon and scoop out some melon.
Jam the vodka bottle into the melon.
Find a home for it in the back of the fridge.
Give it a week to perk. You want the vodka distributed evenly throughout the melon.
Slice and enjoy.
...rum would work too.
Now that grandma is all hoopy, look, she's dirty dancing with the pool boy, crank the music. It's the 4th. It's the summer. You need a special soundtrack. Remember there are 4 generations at this Luau. Mix it up with the tunes. I think we'll start our party with...
We need a meal and a play list by Monday... and a way to keep Grandma from tearing up the neighborhood.
