Ingredients

1 medium-sized watermelon

1 pint and a half of good straight bourbon

Directions

Rest the melon on a rimmed tray or platter, then score diagonal gashes several inches apart all around the melon, cutting through the rind into the "meat."

Take a sharp knife and cut out a conical plug from the top

center.

This cone should be about two inches in diameter and about six

inches long when it is withdrawn from the melon.

Place the tray with then melon in your refrigerator for at least an hour, maybe longer.

Moisture will seep out during this process through the side gashes and will rise in the hole left by the cone.

Pour off this liquid out of the cone and fill the hole slowly with straight bourbon.

Return the melon on its tray to the refrigerator, chill thoroughly, and keep adding bourbon periodically.

Serve the melon sliced, or as a coconut-garnished melon

ball dessert.
