Subject: Spiking a Watermelon
From: Cheryl Charming

I found a new way to spike a watermelon.

I've tried many methods to spike a watermelon, but by far the best is to buy 
an 8-oz injector bottle that is normally sold with a BBQ prep set like 
pictured here:

I've tried syringes, meat injectors and sticking a bottle in the top, but they 
are time consuming because the limited barrel size and limited fridge space. 
The 8oz bottle only has to be filled up 4 times because there are about 25.6 
ounces in a fifth of liquor. Okay, maybe one shot is for you and the rest for 
the watermelon:). Start with a chilled watermelon then inject the top. Refill 
and repeat injecting the length of the watermelon three more times. Set back 
in the fridge 6-24 hours. When ready, cut up and serve.

Don't use alcohol higher proof than 100 because it eats away at the meat. 
Clear flavored rums or vodkas are the best. Just pick a favorite flavor! Lower 
proofed liqueurs can be used as well like peach and Malibu. Just make sure 
they are clear so that the watermelon meat stays red.

How do I pour? What is 'cl', 'oz' and 'pt'? How should I handle glassware?.
