A twist on spiked watermelon. This is made with wine instead of 100-proof! Use an off-dry, unoaked white riesling which is a perfect match for sweet melon. Try Rosemount Estate’s yummy traminer/riesling blend, available in most stores.
Ingredients:
1 (10 lb) seedless watermelon
1 (750 ml) bottle white wine, white riesiling
Directions:
1. Cut a hole in a ripe watermelon and insert a funnel.
2. Pour in as much wine as possible, and let it sit in the fridge, adding more wine every three to four hours as it’s slowly absorbed. (A 10-pound melon can soak up one standard bottle overnight.)
3. Slice the watermelon for a refreshing chilled party nosh, or freeze the flesh as a terrific base for blender drinks.
