For an extra touch of elegance, consider using balsamic glaze instead of balsamic vinegar. Its thicker consistency will cling to the skewers beautifully. Experiment with different types of mozzarella, such as buffalo mozzarella or smoked mozzarella, for a unique flavor profile. If you don't have a melon baller, you can simply dice the watermelon into small cubes. Make sure the watermelon and mozzarella are well-chilled before assembling the skewers for the best flavor and texture.
