To prepare this watermelon infused vodka:

* Start with one medium seedless watermelon.  This is enough for about one liter of vodka.  Caution: the longer you infuse, the more delicious the end product will be!
* Wash all fresh ingredients thoroughly. Slice watermelon into wedges to increase their surface area and speed up the infusion. Place all of your ingredients together in a clean, airtight container (glass works best).  Pineapple wedges are recommended to enhance the flavor.
* Infuse! Fill the container with vodka, seal it, and put it someplace safe and away from direct sunlight.
* Give it time to infuse: two to five days is adequate.
* Strain and enjoy!
