Drink dispenser Using a paring knife and working at an angle, cut around one end of an oval watermelon to create a lid, then scoop out the fruit with a metal spoon. With a clean screwdriver, poke a hole about a third of the way up the watermelon, then use a paring knife to make it slightly smaller than your spigot (Stainless Works Beverage Spigot, $13.95; amazon.com). Gently screw in the spigot so it fts snugly. Handwrite “Enjoy” above the spigot in permanent marker, then use a linoleum cutter to trace the letters and etch away the skin. Fill with watermelon limeade (recipe, page 88), then replace the lid and position on a stand (Iron Tripod Base, $9.99; laredoimports.com).
