Vodka Watermelon
"We've been having a lot of boozy sweet-stuff this month at work (tequila choccies, boozy cakes, etc.) and my boss mentioned that his missus used to make vodka watermelon. I've not yet tried this but apparently it's great fun and fab for a party! Please note that servings are approximate and you can make this as boozy (or not) as you wish, but it's probably prudent to allow for a small bottle of vodka. You may need to turn the watermelon occasionally as my boss did comment that sometimes when they have it the vodka all falls to the bottom and some slices don't taste very alcoholic at all. I've heard you can inject the vodka into the melon as well, but if you're anything like me then you don't have a whole lot of needles lying about your house!"

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
Aloha! I'm 29 years old and from the UK. My other half calls me his 1950's housewife because I just love to bake, preserve and cook in general! After studying catering at college I decided commercial cookery wasn't for me but I still like nothing more than discovering new dishes, throwing dinner parties and so on!
I work on the recruitment side of a quantity surveying consultancy about 25 miles north of London. I love my job. It's hard work but fast paced, challenging and my work day just flies by.
With regards to how I rate recipes, I try and keep it fair and to the system. I do my best to give no lower than 3 stars but will do on occasion if I made something as directed and it still ended up in the bin. I've never given 1 star but on occasion I'll leave no stars if I suspect something went horribly wrong. Most recipes get rated at 3/4 stars because 5 stars is reserved for spectacular recipes that become frequent users and a family favourite. Everyone has their own rating systems and that doesn't offend me. Rate my recipes as you see fit - I know what I like and what I don't and I'm here to fill my recipe book (filling anyone elses is merely an advantage), not to win a popularity competition or become chef of the year.
