Ingredients
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 lemons, juiced
- 1 (750 ml) bottle vodka
- 2 fresh mint sprigs
- 1 whole watermelon, 10 pounds or larger
Directions
Dissolve the sugar in the lemon juice. Pour out 1/4 cup vodka and add the lemon mixture and the mint sprigs to the bottle. Cap, shake, and let sit from 1 hour to overnight for the flavors to develop.
Cut a plug from the watermelon about 3-inches deep and as big around as the top of the bottle. Upend the bottle into the hole and let it sit for a couple of hours or until most of the vodka lemonade has been absorbed into the watermelon. Re-plug the watermelon and refrigerate it for a few hours. Slice and serve.

I made this for a BBQ and it tasted fantastic. It was super hot out and this was perfect. From the other reviews, I knew that the vodka might not all drain into the watermelon. I ended up scooping out the melon and juicing it. Then I mixed the juice with the vodka. I had some left over melon that I froze and used as ice cubes so that the drink wasn't watered down at all. Plus, I used the hollow watermelon as the punch bowl. Not the was it was intended but still came out wonderful!
