I made this recipe this summer, but never posted it on here even though it was super good and very refreshing :) Instead of blending all the watermelon I used a melon baller to make some cute little balls. I also once made this with lemonade instead of Soju, which was also very good. Thank you for the recipe :)

How far in advance can I make this cocktail? Will it sit (without ice cubes) in the fridge for 2 hours or more before it’s consumed without its flavor being affected? THANKS!
Hi Maangchi! Thank you for this video. I made this for my engagement party yesterday, you can have a look at the photo here!
I love your channel! I’m a korean born and raised in London – My 엄마 loves your show too!

Where is the photo, Jay? I think I saw the link, but disappeared suddenly. Anyway, congratulations on your engagement! I’m so honored to hear that you made this on your special day!

Keep cooking! :D xx
What can you use as a substitute of the soju? Is there such thing as a cheonyeo subag soju?
I am totally going to make this for the next party! I’m Korean from Korea and started to cook Korean food less and less living in California. After I found your web site I started to make more Korean foods using your recipes. They are great! I’m having a girls night next Saturday and going to make Kongnamulbab, fried chicken gizzards and this subak soju!!! Love you, Maangchi!!!
“Kongnamulbab, fried chicken gizzards and this subak soju!” that’s a good choice!

Thanks, Maangchi! I already tried making Kongnamulbab and fried chicken gizzards using your recipes and they are awesome!!! Can’t wait to post the pictures after the party.
You were all getting very merry there. Ha ha! Yes, I love those ice fruity soju drinks, too, but you gotta share them with friends. ㅎㅎㅎ
yes you need people to share with it! : ) Good luck with your subak soju party! Take some photos to show us!
