Here's a tip
When you open the hole, keep the plug and re-insert it after each addition of vodka. You really don't want dead-drunk bugs floating around in there. (Saw that in college. Eccch.)
Tip the second: Get thee to a bar supplies place -- or a well-stocked homewares store -- and pick up one of the spouts bartenders put in bottles after opening them. When it's time to serve up the melon, bore a hole in one end of it slightly larger than the tube in the middle of the spout. Jam the spout into the hole. Pour. Once the liquid stops flowing, cut the top off and scoop out the mush. Yumm.
