Popularized by Korean-American bars, this watermelon soju punch is served in its own hollowed-out watermelon bowl and would be a hit at any summer party. Soju is a clear Korean spirit distilled from grains or starches. If you can't find soju, you can substitute with half the amount of vodka or leave out the alcohol altogether. Be sure to serve with lots of ice in the punch bowl for a cold, refreshing drink.

Directions
- Trim the very bottom of a chilled 5-pound mini seedless watermelon to make a flat base. Slice an inch or two off the top, then scoop the flesh into a blender. Puree, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve. Combine 2 1/2 cups of the watermelon juice, 1 chilled 375-ml bottle soju, 1 chilled can lemon-lime soda and 2 tablespoons lemon juice in a pitcher. Fill the hollowed-out watermelon with ice and the punch.
