    • Depending how infused you want your fruit to be

Supplies:

  • Large knife
  • Paper towels
  • Large bowl or jar
  • Tooth picks
  • Large serving platter

Directions:

  1. Take cut fruit and put in a large bowl or jar. Pour vodka over to infuse the fruit. Refrigerate for 3 hour
  2. In the meantime, you can start carving your helmet! Slice your watermelon approximately 3 inches from the stem.

  5. For the mouth piece: take the smaller half and carve out little rectangles (we did 6 in total).
  6. Attach the mouth piece with toothpicks to the head of the helmet. Set aside on a large platter in the fridge if your fruit is still infusing.
  7. Once your fruit is infused, fill helmet and platter with fruit.

Now you’re ready to get the football party started!
