The Chopping Block

HAPPPY FOURTH OF JULY PEOPLES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope you like the teaser I drop monday, This idea came to me at random last week at work. On the right I took wild turkey american honey whiskey (3 cups worth) and stuck it inside of watermelon for 2 days.What you see on the right is the finished watermelon, on the left I wanted to use the rhine so I pickle it with white wine (3 cups),cider vinegar(2 cups),sugar(1 cup),salt 2 tbsp), black pepper (2 tbsp) and half a bunch of thyme. I brought the mixture to a boil and pour it right over. The shot was a last second idea I did while plating. I took the juice from watermelon, a little bit more whiskey added some fresh mint syrup and some hot sauce ( to balance out the sweetness ). I shake it up and pour it into a shot glass. You have the entire watermelon not wasted in different stages. This a great relaxing snack to share with people or relaxing in your comfort zone all day.
