Melon Baller

By ltrodrigu

Ingredients

• 1 small hollowed-out watermelon half
• 7-8 rounds of ripe, juicy watermelon flesh
• soju (or vodka)
• Fruity Pebbles cereal
• Pop Rocks candy

Preparation

Step 1

Use a melon baller to scoop out watermelon rounds into a short glass or watermelon half and give them a thorough dousing of soju—as much as you like (or think your guests can handle). Let the melon balls soak in the liquor a while—10 minutes, say, or as long as overnight—to allow the soju and fruit juices to meld. Sprinkle the melon balls with Fruity Pebbles cereal and Pop Rocks candy. Presented with the Pop Rocks crackling, it’s like fireworks in a glass.
