- Total Time: 5 mins
- Yield: 2 1x
Description
Ingredients
- 1 mini seedless watermelon
- 1 bottle (375ml) of soju (you can substitute with vodka, white rum or sake)
- 1 bottle (355ml) of sprite
Instructions
- Slice off top of watermelon, no more than 1-inch to 1 1/2-inch.
- Scoop out all watermelon meat and place in a blender. Keep watermelon bowl in a refrigerator or a freezer to serve drink. Blend until watermelon becomes smooth juice.
- Strain through a fine strainer. This is optional, but I like to do it because it removes most of foams and makes it extra silky. It should be around 2 1/2 cups if it’s more just keep it in a refrigerator or in a freezer for later use. (It will last up to 3 days in a refrigerator or 1 month in a freezer.)
- Combine watermelon juice, soju and sprite in a pitcher and give it a good stir.
- Now, you can serve right away in a watermelon bowl with some ice in it or freeze watermelon soju mixture in a freezer for 2 to 3 hours for slush-like texture. Enjoy!
