some things never change…
My Dad once told me about some young gentlemen who did something similar long, long ago…
‘Course, the purpose was to ‘catch watermelon thieves’ and the melons were still on the vine, there being no refrigeration…
And the liquid used was from the bottles that ‘grew’ in the side yard of an anonymous fella down by the river who would let anyone dig there for $1…
A plug cut with a sharp pocket knife, *glug*glug*glug*, plug carefully replaced…
And it might have brought a special sparkle to the very proper Ladies of the Household if they happened to select that particular melon for their afternoon enjoyment…

That would make a good punch bowl.
Olden daze ROOFIES! LOL!
I’m a purist.
I like my watermelon in a bowl and my vodka in a glass with ice.
The key thing is to fill the watermelon with the vodka, replug, then freeze for a half a day. Nothing better…..
Geez, do I have to teach you guys everything?
The freezing part is good (thank you scottw), but the hole needs to be round-ish so you can take the plastic tap thingy from an empty box of wine* and stuff it in there to pour with. It lends the dispenser a certain amount of class or, as the french would say, jennie say ah!
When the level of liquid gets below the tap, you simply rotate the watermelon upwards 1/4–3/8 turn and tap that sucker again. Rinse, repeat.
*Not that I’ve ever had wine from a box, or anything, but there’s a lot of neat things you can do with those empty mylar bags and taps — smuggling a whole fifth of gin/w tonic into the races, for instance. Just lay the filled bag flat and wrap it in a section of newspaper. When security looks in your girlfriend’s bag, all they see is the newspaper — especially if she’s flashing a little bit of cleavage at the time.
