I saw an infomercial advertising a handheld "whipping type" high speed blender...interesting ideas. One thing they did - they took a seedless watermelon, cut a hole about 1" across and prepared watermelon juice inside the watermelon. I had two thoughts when I saw this:
1. wouldn't it be cool to put the watermelon up on some kind of legs and install a spigot underneath so that people could get their watermelon juice "on tap"? Does anyone have any idea on how to do this without cracking the melon? It would make a neat way to present it...with a sharp, fine knife I could do a little bit of carving of the watermelon to make it more presentable.
2. Straight watermelon juice is a little overpowering (sweet), in my opinion. Does anyone have any suggestions for adding some other juices to water it down a bit? I have thought about draining some of the juice off, putting crushed ice inside and mixing it...another way to tone down the sugar.
