Spiked Watermelon Is the Refreshing Summer Treat You Need — Here's How to Do It

How to Spike a Watermelon

Step aside, vodka-soaked gummies, because vodka-infused watermelon is here to steal the show. Who doesn't love watermelon in the summer? It's hydrating, it's sweet, it's refreshing, and it's also the perfect vessel for enjoying alcohol. In my never-ending quest for a fun summer cocktail, I stumbled upon spiked watermelon, not in the form of a slushie or even a glass, but rather as a full watermelon with a hole cut in the side to fit the neck of a bottle of vodka.

The vodka drips into the watermelon for 24 to 48 hours and absorbs into the flesh of the fruit. It's sweet, it's definitely effective, and it's a drink that comes in its own container. While it does take some time to make, the steps to prepare this fun party treat couldn't be any simpler. Here's how to do it!
