How to Mix Alcohol & Punch in a Watermelon (6 Steps)

What can you do with a watermelon? Or, more to the point, what can't you do? Watermelon, one of the most popular fruits -- and foods -- of the summer, can be made into salads, drinks, desserts and even syrups. In addition to being edible, a watermelon's rind can serve as a bowl for your picnic's adult beverages. Once you fashion the watermelon into a suitable container, you can mix your alcohol and fruit punch to create a truly green punch bowl.

Things You'll Need

  • Knife
  • Spoon

Instructions

  1. Thoroughly wash the watermelon's exterior.

  2. Cut a thin and shallow piece of rind off the bottom of the watermelon. This will become the flat surface used to stabilize the watermelon.

  3. Place the watermelon on its newly flattened side.

  4. Cut off the top part of the watermelon one or two inches from where it starts to curve inward from the middle. This will create a rim to keep the contents from overflowing.

  5. Scoop out the watermelon's flesh with a spoon until the white of the rind is exposed all around the inside of the melon.

  6. Pour in the alcohol and fruit punch of your choosing into the watermelon when it is time for the event.
