Ingredients
- 1watermelonsmall or medium
- 3mint leavesfresh, plus more for garnish
- 1soju
- 2cupsice
Instructions
-
Using a sharp knife, cut the watermelon to make a flat surface. Set the watermelon upright and cut off the top to expose the flesh.
-
Scoop out the flesh with a large spoon into a large bowl. Make sure to not go all the way through the bottom of the watermelon–this will be your serving vessel.
-
Use an immersion blender or transfer to a standing blender to blend the watermelon flesh for 1 minute, until smooth. Strain the watermelon juice through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean large bowl or pitcher to remove the pulp.
-
Thinly slice the mint leaves, then add to the watermelon juice, along with the soju, and stir to combine.
-
Pour the watermelon soju mixture into the hollowed-out watermelon shell and fill the rest of the way with the ice.
-
Garnish with more mint leaves, if desired. Serve cold.
