Spiked Watermelon Pops Recipes

YUMMY WATERMELON POPS

Steps:

• Place the watermelon, lemon juice, sugar, and raspberries into a blender, and blend on High speed until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is smooth. Pour the mixture into ice pop molds, and insert sticks or handles. Freeze until firm, several hours or overnight.

SPIKED WATERMELON POPS

• To unfreeze the ice pops, insert the molds in hot water for 5 to 10 seconds. Serve immediately.

WATERMELON CRAWL- AKA SPIKED WATERMELON

Steps:

• Sneaky and Underhanded: Use any size syringe - or several- and inject the alcohol into the melon. Smaller needles will leave the least detectable marks! lol Refrigerate or pack in ice to get it really cold. (Very hard to do with champagne).
• Open and Honest: Remove rind from melon. Cut edible flesh into pieces, place in a huge bowl and douse with the alcohol. Refrigerate or pack in ice to get it really cold.
• Whole Melon: Cut a hole in the melon big enough to insert a funnel. SAVE the piece you removed to reinsert after all the alcohol has been absorbed. Pour alcohol into the melon through the funnel. We usually put the melon in a cooler and surround it with ice, place the funnel and fill it with alcohol- return several times to refill funnel.
• Note: We usually spike in the morning and let it sit until we are ready later that day. If leaving the rind on, don't let it sit too long as the outer rind of the melon will absorb much of the alcohol and the inner fruit will be a little weaker.
• PS I LOVE lots of the 'flavored' or infused alcohols they have available now BUT SAVE THEM for a drink. When I used them in this they were really gross with the melon. The exception being Coconut Rum. Steer clear of all those other flavors like banana, mango, etc -- .

SPIKED WATERMELON

Steps:

• Cut a hole in the top of the watermelon, wide and deep enough to insert a funnel.
• Pour as much vodka through the funnel as can be absorbed (1/2 cup to 1 cup), remove the funnel and replace the watermelon plug, Let sit for 4 hours and again, pour is as much vodka as can be absorbed, Repeat the process until all the vodka has been absorbed, (eventually all the vodka WILL be absorbed).
• Refrigerate and serve well chilled.
• When it's time slice it up and enjoy.
• NOTES: You can also use a food injector, this works well or you can cut a hole big enough to hold the neck of a fifth of vodka, allow it to sit 6-12 hours, 24 being better, serve with the bottle sticking out of the watermelon, You can experiment with liquors, I have heard rum works well too.

WATERMELON MEZCAL POPS

Steps:

• Blend the watermelon, mezcal, lime juice and sugar in a blender on high until very smooth and thoroughly combined, about 1 minute. Give the mixture a good stir with a large spoon or rubber spatula to make sure most of the foam has subsided, then pour into six 4-ounce ice-pop molds. Freeze until solid, at least 8 hours and preferably overnight.
• The ice pops will keep in the freezer up to 2 weeks. Right before serving, run them under hot water for 5 to 10 seconds to make them easier to unmold.
