TEQUILA-SOAKED WATERMELON WEDGES

Steps:

• Arrange watermelon in a single layer in two 9-by-13-inch baking dishes. Bring sugar, water, tequila, and Triple Sec to a boil in a small saucepan. Cook, stirring, until sugar dissolves, about 1 minute. Let cool slightly. Pour syrup over watermelon wedges, and refrigerate for at least 45 minutes.
• Remove watermelon from syrup, and arrange on a platter. Squeeze limes over melon, and season with salt.

WATERMELON TEQUILA SHOTS

Steps:

• Cut a hole in the watermelon large enough for the tequila bottle's neck. Insert the tequila bottle upside down. Refrigerate and let the liquor soak into the watermelon's flesh overnight.
• Cube the melon, and skewer each cube with a wedge of lime sprinkled with salt.
