The noble watermelon. The most flavourless member of the tropical fruit family; sweet but slighly insipid, this monstrous sphere is unremarkable in almost every situation. Try saturating it with vodka, however, and and you’ll find it suddenly becomes the centerpiece of any pre-Bridge fiesta.
A little fiddly to make, but the novely of consuming alcohol through munching fruit flesh rather than downing yet more shots is a welcome change for your shrivelled liver, and is a great ice-breaker. Prepare vodka watermelon a day in advance, by cutting a hole in the top of a watermelon, filling a funnel with vodka and allowing the alcohol to gradually permeate into the fruit.
A great way to add some variety to festivities, procrastinate from looming deadlines and get in one of your five a day. Overall the taste is a bit grim, but the idea is a high key banger. Really one for all you kids missing summer days – after all, what is more summery than a watermelon and chill?
