1. Dissolve the sugar in the lemon juice.
2. Pour out 1/4 cup vodka and add the lemon mixture and the mint sprigs to the bottle.
3. Cap, shake, and let sit from 1 hour to overnight for the flavors to develop.
4. Cut a plug from the watermelon about 3-inches deep and as big around as the top of the bottle.
5. Upend the bottle into the hole and let it sit for a couple of hours or until most of the vodka lemonade has been absorbed into the watermelon.
6. Re-plug the watermelon and refrigerate it for a few hours.
7. Slice and serve.
