Summer is here, and that means it's time to get creative with refreshing cocktails. One of the all-time favorites is the Vodka Watermelon – a juicy, sweet, and boozy delight that will be a hit at any party or BBQ. But have you ever wondered how to make this delicious concoction? Well, you're in luck! Vodka Doctors is here to save the day with a step-by-step guide on how to create your very own Vodka Watermelon. So, sit back, relax, and get ready for a tasty adventure.
What You'll Need
To make the perfect Vodka Watermelon, here's what you'll need:
- A large, seedless watermelon
- A bottle of your favorite vodka (we recommend a good-quality brand for the best taste)
- A large bowl or container to catch the watermelon juice
- A sharp knife and cutting board
- A large serving spoon or melon baller
- A funnel
Step 1: Prepare the Watermelon
First, you'll need to prep the watermelon for the vodka infusion. To do this, start by cutting a circle into the top of the watermelon, creating a "lid." Ensure the hole is large enough to fit the funnel but small enough to maintain the watermelon's structural integrity. Remove the lid and set it aside.

Next, use your large serving spoon or melon baller to scoop out the watermelon flesh into the bowl or container. Be sure to leave a thin layer of watermelon attached to the rind to maintain the shape – this will also make a delicious vodka-infused snack later! Once you've removed the majority of the watermelon flesh, set the bowl aside.
Step 2: Infuse the Watermelon
Now, it's time to bring the vodka into the mix. Place the funnel into the hole of the watermelon and slowly pour in your chosen vodka. It's essential to pour slowly to give the watermelon rind time to absorb the vodka – you may need to take breaks now and then for optimal absorption.
Once you've poured in the desired amount of vodka (we recommend using about half a bottle), recover the watermelon with the lid. Allow the vodka to infuse for at least 4 hours in a cool, dark place – preferably overnight for the best taste.
Step 3: Serve the Vodka Watermelon
After the vodka has infused, it's time for the grand reveal! Remove the watermelon lid and use a ladle or spoon to serve the boozy watermelon juice. For an extra refreshing touch, consider adding ice to your serving glasses. And don't forget about the watermelon flesh you saved earlier – those vodka-infused bites are perfect for snacking!
How To Make Vodka Watermelon Example:
To create a fantastic, fun, and interesting presentation for your Vodka Watermelon, consider adding a couple of twists:
- Freeze the vodka-infused watermelon bites to create a fun and delicious alternative to ice cubes.
- For an added flavor element, mix in some mint leaves or fresh fruit as garnish.
- Gather friends and have a blind taste test, comparing different vodka brands' flavors when infused into the watermelon.
And there you have it! You're now prepared to wow your friends and family with your very own Vodka Watermelon creation.
