I think I would add One step to this. Create a full day in advance, freeze melon keg, and only bring out 10 minutes before the guests arrive...that way what ever you fill it with stays colder a lot longer! Great idea I can't wait for my next party!

[ModMischief]

I thought about freezing it but I was worried that it might expand or shrink and ruin the seal. You don't want a leaky melon! We kept the spiked watermelon juice in the fridge until just before the party, and used another melon for extra juice (kept in another pitcher) to refill the keg when we inevitably ran out. It was refreshing and cold all night, but if you wanted it even colder, you could throw a bit of ice into the keg along with the juice.

I agee, I think your seal would probably be ruined. You might put the ice in a bag and throw it inside the melon, so you don't dilute your drink. Or put your watermelon mix in the freezer until it's slushy, then crush whatever ice formed using a hand blender.

You could probably freeze it hollowed out, THEN insert the nipple through it... Worst case, it would contract around it and make a tighter seal...

[ymagination]

Perhaps, placing some of the "fuel" already mixed, in molds, could do some ice-cubes... then place them inside... they will cool your drink, without watering it... I´m sure it will get empty before the ice melts, LOL Great idea...!!!

Can you stick a plastic bag inside the watermelon? im not sure how it helps..... but it somehow seems to me like a good idea.

[ModMischief]

A plastic bag might clog the tap and I'm not sure what purpose it would serve.

I guess if you wanted a non-watermelon-flavoured drink to come out of the melon you could rig it up to be like a wine-in-a-box bag.

[brooklynlord]

i mean, like have it sticking out of the watermelon, cut a hole in the corner....

Or like put it aroud the hole while you screw in the tap thing? hopefully the bag acts like a spacer a you just put fluid in the bag instead of the actual melon......

[ModMischief]

But why?

[brooklynlord]

I dont know. To seperate the drink from the watermelon itself?


Btw, the "a" after "spacer" should be and.

[thebeerbarron]

Only problem with fuelled ice cubes is that vodka won't freeze - so could be a bit messy!
