Freezing a watermelon, advice needed please.

Hello, new member here!

I'm having a house party on Halloween ;D
I'm making watermelon kegs, I have two watermelons

One water melon is in the fridge, been untouched.

The other one, I cut a hole at the top (in a lid-type fashion) and spooned out all the seeds and about 90% of the flesh (thin red layer across inside, still)
Cut a hole on the side near the bottom and then proceeded to snugly fit a spigot in, it was all secure I filled watermelon with water (to test) no leaks, the liquid came out spigot very nicely. Took the spigiot and all liquid out, placed the 'lid' back on and placed in the freezer.


Now, my question is this... Once I take the watermelon out the freezer on Halloween and it has been left out a few hours to thaw out fully, will it rind still be hard and secure like it is before frozen? Because obviously I'll be putting booze inside it and if the ring was to break the alcohol would go everywhere and be wasted

Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you for your time reading this. Acey.

Drink fast, is my opinion.
Heard this regarding alcohol and a watermelon,a small plug is cut out hi octane alcohol is gently poured in and then replugged.
Let sit for a while.
Cut up and eat as normal.

The flesh I cut out I wasn't planning on eating, it's more of the novelty of drinking out the water melon with getting a little hint of the of the flavour coming from the thing layer I left inside, the plan is just to drink from basically a hollow watermelon.. was wondering if the watermelon will keep it's toughness after being after being unfrozen? Thank you

Acey94 I don't believe it would work as the rind of the watermelon would be softened after freezing and thawing. However it would still be welcomed by the worms in your worm farm (hope you have one). Best to use a fresh hollowed watermelon and add ice to your drink.
