Carefully cut a hole into the
top of a watermelon then use a wine tool to pull out the
plug. Make a little more room by scooping out some watermelon
then insert a funnel and pour in any chilled booze of your
choice. After the booze is absorbed, I prefer setting it
in the fridge then allow it to sit for a good 6-12 hours
(24 is good too!). When ready, you can slice it up and set
it out at your party or cut it into some of the cool ideas
I found below at Watermelon.org!
Suggested
alcohol include plain and flavored clear rums, vodkas, tequilas,
and gin so they won't change the color of the red meat.
Lower proof alcohol is nice too like Malibu Coconut Rum
or liqueurs.

You
can also spike a watermelon using BBQ marinade injectors like
these. That can be purchased at any BBQ supply online store.

You
can make Drunken Olives
by getting a big jar of olives. Drain out 3/4 of the olive
juice (save it for Dirty Martinis) then pour in a mixture
of gin, vodka, and dry vermouth. Let it set overnight in
the fridge.
Of
course you can use any ratio of alcohol of your choice,
use all gin, all vodka, etc. Even infused vodka or gin would
be nice like pepper flavored, etc.
*The
gallon jars are cheaper at a Sam's Club, Costco, etc. |
| Try
the same thing with marischino cherries and
make Cherry Bombs.
Drain out 3/4 of the cherry juice (save it for a future Rum
Punch) then pour in alcohol of your choice. Most people like
to use 151 rum to carry on the "bomb" theme but
any flavored vodka or rum would make them really flavorful.

Sure,
you can put display your spiked olives and cherries in bowls,
but why not display them in Martini Glasses! Even those giant
Martini glasses would be cool. Don't forget to set out a cherry
stem bowl next to the cherries. Also, it looks nicer to place
each cherry in one by one with all stems sticking up so that its
perky and also easier for your guests.

Don't
try these giant glasses...I think they might be too big!
