Both times we were to bring a snack and we decided on this adult concoction called Drunken Fruit.
Drunken Fruit
by
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 3 hours
Ingredients
- 1 medium watermelon
- 1 large canteloupe
- 1 c strawberry rum
- 1 c pineapple juice
- 1/2 c triple sec
Instructions
Cut the fruit in either balls or cubes. We think cubes are faster. Place into a large bowl.
Mix together triple sec, rum and juice.
Pour over fruit and stir to coat.
Refrigerate at least three hours, stirring to distribute liquid.
Strain and reserve liquid (if you'd like to make some amazing jello shots later!)
Serve with toothpicks handy!

We always put a label or let people know when we get there that this dish has alcohol in it if there are going to be some kids around.
To make jello shots, open a package of watermelon jello, and place into a bowl. Add one Knox gelatin package. Heat up one c of juice. Pour into jello, stir until dissolved. Add one c of unheated juice and stir well. Pour into disposable shot cups. Refrigerate until firm.
This is a great idea for an adult party. I think the watermelon would be delicious after soaking in the alcohol so long.
