Snatch Talk Thursday- 4th of July Edition

On behalf of everyone at F-listed I hope you guys have an amazing 4th of July!

Tomorrow we celebrate our independence and reflect on living the American dream the only way we know how- by firing off explosives and getting piss ass drunk!

I decided this week I would share my favorite 4th of July treat…

BEHOLD- THE SPIKED WATERMELON!!!!!!

Buy a medium-sized seedless watermelon, then follow these steps….you’ll be doing the Macarena in no time.

Step 1: Use a small knife to gently cut a round hole in a watermelon to create a “plug.” Do not cut a square or triangular hole, that may cause your watermelon to crack.

Step 2: Use a corkscrew to remove the plug of watermelon rind from your watermelon. Trim the pink watermelon attached to the plug and eat it. Now take a teaspoon and scoop a little of the flesh out of the hole you made to make some space for the booze. Two or three spoonfuls should do it.

Step 3: Next, take something long and skinny (not made of flesh), like a skewer, and poke it into the watermelon a few times at different angles. Watermelon has naturally occurring airspaces and you are creating channels for the booze to flow freely through the melon. Do not poke the skewer all the way through the other side of the melon! That will make it leak.

Next, pour about one cup of your favorite booze into the watermelon. I like Malibu Rum because it’s not too over powering or some sort of flavored vodka. You may have to pour it a little bit at a time and let it settle in. One cup should be about as much as will soak in.

Step 4: Replace the plug of watermelon rind you set aside in the watermelon. With the “plug side” up, place the watermelon back in the refrigerator for at least a couple of hours to let the booze percolate through the flesh and to cool the melon.

Finally, slice the watermelon like you normally would and let the games begin!!!
