CHARMING'S SPIKED WATERMELON PAGE

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!
