WATERMELON CRAWL- AKA SPIKED WATERMELON
Sure to make your picnic a LOT more interesting or the Hempstead, TX Watermelon Festival! Here are three ways to achieve this dastardly deed. I prefer rum over vodka for this but champagne is nice too especially with the open and honest method. UPDATE: I tried this recently with Vanilla Vodka and OMG! It was FAB! BUT FIRST- Rinse the whole melon to remove any dirt or icky stuff that might be on the skin- seen or unseen! ewwww!!!! I never used to do this part until I saw a large dog "marking" the watermelons! EWWWWWWW! NOW I wash them VERY WELL! ugh! Now all that is left to do is to choose which method you would like to use! Cooking time does not include the hours of cooling. Have a great time!

Steps:
- Sneaky and Underhanded: Use any size syringe - or several- and inject the alcohol into the melon. Smaller needles will leave the least detectable marks! lol Refrigerate or pack in ice to get it really cold. (Very hard to do with champagne).
- Open and Honest: Remove rind from melon. Cut edible flesh into pieces, place in a huge bowl and douse with the alcohol. Refrigerate or pack in ice to get it really cold.
- Whole Melon: Cut a hole in the melon big enough to insert a funnel. SAVE the piece you removed to reinsert after all the alcohol has been absorbed. Pour alcohol into the melon through the funnel. We usually put the melon in a cooler and surround it with ice, place the funnel and fill it with alcohol- return several times to refill funnel.
- Note: We usually spike in the morning and let it sit until we are ready later that day. If leaving the rind on, don't let it sit too long as the outer rind of the melon will absorb much of the alcohol and the inner fruit will be a little weaker.
- PS I LOVE lots of the 'flavored' or infused alcohols they have available now BUT SAVE THEM for a drink. When I used them in this they were really gross with the melon. The exception being Coconut Rum. Steer clear of all those other flavors like banana, mango, etc -- .
WINE SPIKED WATERMELON
A "twist" on spiked watermelon. This is made with wine instead of 100-proof! Use an off-dry, unoaked white riesling which is a perfect match for sweet melon. Try Rosemount Estate's yummy traminer/riesling blend, available in most stores.

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.

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.

- Secure your watermelon on the table using towels or cloth napkins to keep it from rolling. Remove the cap from the vodka bottle to use as a template for the hole.
- Cut around the circle with a knife, digging deep into the melon's flesh. Remove this chunk of rind and flesh and reserve to use as a plug later.
- Use a long-handled spoon to scoop out enough melon so the vodka bottle's neck can fit inside the hole. Don't worry if you don't go deep enough; you will be able to gently push the bottle in deeper if necessary.
- Rotate the watermelon about 90 degrees so the hole is now on the side. If you place the melon close to the edge of the counter, you can rotate it even more, angling it toward the floor while keeping the hole in sight.
