Rihanna's Recipe 4 Tequila-Soaked Watermelon.

Nothing like sitting outside for some delicious watermelon. I like to eat my watermelon with salt. I remember Grandmama (Great-Grandmother) had a watermelon patch and it was the best watermelon in the world. But let’s take it up a notch…Tequila Soaked Watermelon.

Here’s the recipe:

Prep Time: 5 Minutes

Total Time: 1 Hour

Serves: 4

Ingredients

  • 1 small seedless watermelon, red or yellow, quartered and cut into 1-inch-thick wedges
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1/2 cup tequila
  • 1/4 cup Triple Sec
  • 2 limes, halved or cut into wedges
  • Flaked sea salt or coarse salt

Directions

  1. Arrange watermelon in a single layer in two 9-by-13-inch baking dishes. Bring sugar, water, tequila, and Triple Sec to a boil in a small saucepan. Cook, stirring, until sugar dissolves, about 1 minute. Let cool slightly. Pour syrup over watermelon wedges, and refrigerate for at least 45 minutes.

  2. Remove watermelon from syrup, and arrange on a platter. Squeeze limes over melon, and season with salt.
