Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 1 mini watermelon ((about 1.8lb or 850g))
- 1 mini can (222 mL) lemon lime soda ((like Sprite))
- 1 bottle (375 mL) soju (original flavor)
- 1 bottle Yakult ((optional and more to your preference))
Instructions
- 1
Wash and dry the mini watermelon, then place it on a cutting board on it's side. Slice off one end of the watermelon to create a flat base. Don't cut too far! You only need to cut enough so that the watermelon can stand upright.

Turn the watermelon and slice off the other end of the watermelon, by about 1 to 2 inches.

Scoop out all the watermelon and place it into a blender. Blend until smooth. If you prefer the cocktail without pulp, strain the watermelon juice through a fine mesh sieve or double layers of cheesecloth.*If you want watermelon balls, just use a melon baller to scoop out as much watermelon balls as you'd like. Set it aside.*
