Steps:
- Using a sharp knife, cut ⅛-¼ inch (3 mm-6mm) off of one end of 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. You should have about 4 cups (960 ml).
- 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 (reserve any leftovers in the refrigerator until ready to refill, or for a later use) and fill the rest of the way with the ice. Garnish with more mint leaves, if desired. Serve cold.
- Enjoy!
