The picture above shows what it looks like after 5 days. I have a feeling the melon is satuarated with the vodka, so next time we have to put less I guess because Singapore has juicy watermelons. I wanted to try it chilled but Herby insisted on freezing it. His LG fridge has some kind of super freezing unit. When we took it out it was covered in ice and need thawing! No joke! The whole melon was white! VMII was somewhat a success because we managed to get all vodka in this time! Only problem was the stupid melon was not sweet. :( So we came up with funny ideas to beat the bitterness of the alcoholic fruit:
1) Felicia suggested scraping the frozen meat with a spoon and eating it. For some reason it tasted good....
2) Herby cut the meat out and used a juicer to make vokda melon juice, wasn't too bad but still had a tinge of bitterness....
3) I added coke to vodka melon juice and VOILA! Vodka melon coke! Wanted Inky to take a picture of it but I forgot to ask. It tasted really good, although everyone else was giving me weird faces after drinking it and Herby gave a "Yeah, it's good." with a straight face look.
Conclusion:
1) Do not buy a hollow melon! Chances of a non sweet melon very high.
2) Use less vodka. maybe 1/5 of a 1 litre bottle should do it. 200 ml?
3) Will try using a blender next time to blend the meat and add Coke! Juicer is CMI. Vodka Melon Coke was born.
Feel free to add comments on YOUR Vodka melon. Can qie cuo, qie cuo to make the ultimate melon! Cheers!
