Tiki cocktail in a watermelon

Ingredients:

• 1 small watermelon, wash well
• Lemonade, as needed
• 60 ml vodka or white rum (or as needed), optional
• Lemon wedges for garnish
• Sprigs of fresh mint for garnish
• Special equipment: immersion blender and cocktail umbrella (or any other decorations)

Preparation:

1. Cut a small piece off the bottom of the watermelon to keep it stable and prevent it from rolling. Place the watermelon in a bowl to stabilize it and to catch the juices.
2. Insert an immersion blender (don't turn it on yet), gently press it into the top of the watermelon, and twist to score the rind. Then twist and apply firm pressure to remove the top "plug." If the head of your immersion blender isn't sharp, you may need to use a knife.
3. Insert an immersion blender into the pulp and blend until it begins to liquefy. This is the fun part. Be sure to blend the sides and be careful not to cut into the bottom. The watermelon will likely splatter, so wear an apron. Once most of the pulp has become liquid, add lemonade and a shot of vodka or rum, if desired.
4. Garnish with lemon slices, mint sprigs and a cocktail umbrella or other garnish.
