Delicious and refreshing hwachae by Sharon Hsu of sparklecakerie.com
Hi Fam,
Thirsty for the easiest and prettiest treat? Watermelon Hwachae is a Korean fruit punch made with watermelon, all your favorite fruits, and a fizzy drink that’s ready in minutes! This is a refreshing, viral-worthy dessert drink that’s no-cook and perfect for days you don’t want to turn the oven on. I love using half of the watermelon as a bowl for the cutest presentation and using cookie cutters to make fun shapes out of the fruits. Light, hydrating, and I promise you…this is going to be perfect for your next BBQ, picnic, or lazy afternoon to treat yourself! My hubby and I love making this the moment the weather gets warm. ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡

Notes
- Don’t like bubbly drinks? Try other drinks instead like fruit juice or non-carbonated yogurt drinks like Yakult.
- Love fruits? Add in as much fruit as you want and personalize it with other of your favorite chopped fruits.
- Make it fun and add ice pops inside as well like Melona ice cream pops or frozen fruit juice pops!
Additional Tips:
Tip #1: Use a melon baller or fun cookie cutters to cut your watermelon and fruits into fun shapes (like watermelon stars or citrus slices).
Tip #2: I’ve found that using a long serrated knife helps a lot with cutting a watermelon! You can also use the knife to cut little triangles along the edges of the watermelon to get a decorative trimming on the “punch bowl”.
