For
large watermelons I've used an entire fifth by cutting a
hole big enough for the neck to fit in allowing it to sit
there a good 6-12 hours and even longer (24 is good). Make
sure
you keep the melon cold in a cooler or fridge until serving
time. I prefer rum over vodka and also prefer lower proofed
alcohols like Malibu because watermelon meat is denser than
other fruits. Also, chill the bottle beforehand so that
the warm alcohol doesn't eat away at the dense meat inside.
When ready, set it out at your party so that everyone can
see how cool it looks. When it's time, slice it up and enjoy!
I
have also mixed alcohol together like half vodka and half
Midori in the bottle. Go ahead, experiment!
