1. Choose the perfect watermelon: While shopping for a watermelon, pick one that is uniformly shaped with no dents or flat sides, as this will help it stand upright while infusing with vodka.

2. Prepare your work area: Clean your countertop, and place a cutting board on it to prevent any mess. Lay out all the tools and ingredients needed for the process.

3. Gather your tools and ingredients: You will need a sharp knife, a spoon or melon baller, a funnel, plastic wrap, a large bowl or container, and of course, vodka.

4. Wash the watermelon thoroughly: Rinse the watermelon under cold running water to remove any dirt or contaminants.

5. Create an access hole: Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a circular hole about 2 inches in diameter in the top of the watermelon. Make sure to cut deep enough to reach the center but not too deep that it pierces the bottom.

6. Remove the core: Use a spoon or melon baller to scoop out an inch or two of the watermelon flesh from the newly created hole, creating some space for vodka to be poured in.

7. Insert the funnel: Gently place a small funnel inside the access hole to create a passage for pouring vodka into the watermelon cavity.

8. Choose your vodka: Opt for premium quality vodka for better taste; however, any brand will work fine for this purpose.

9. Start pouring vodka slowly: Slowly pour vodka into the funnel while allowing it to be absorbed by the watermelon flesh. Have patience, as this process may take some time depending on how much vodka your watermelon can absorb.

10. Stop pouring when saturation is reached: Observe the liquid level in your funnel and stop pouring when it seems saturated and not absorbing anymore vodka.

11. Seal the watermelon: Take a piece of plastic wrap and tightly cover the access hole. Secure it with a rubber band if needed to ensure an airtight seal.

12. Store the vodka watermelon: Place the watermelon in a large bowl or container and refrigerate it for at least 24 hours, so the vodka has enough time to infuse throughout the fruit.

13. Serving your vodka watermelon: After refrigeration, remove the plastic wrap and cut the watermelon into slices or cubes for your guests. Enjoy responsibly!
