Recipe

Cut the watermelon into bite-sized cubes using a clean knife and cutting board—ensure no strong odors from garlic, onions, or herbs remain on the tools.
In a separate bowl, mix milk and soda in a 4:3 ratio, then stir in sugar until fully dissolved to create the hyachae base.
Add about half of the fruit cocktail, including its juice, to the base and gently mix.
Pour the prepared hyachae base generously over the watermelon in a large bowl.
Finally, add ice as needed for extra chill, mix well, and serve.

Cut watermelon into bite-sized pieces using a clean knife and cutting board.
Mix milk, soda, sugar, and fruit cocktail in the golden ratio to make the hyachae base.
Pour the base over the watermelon and add ice to chill thoroughly before mixing and serving.

Cooking tips

Always use a clean knife and cutting board when slicing watermelon—using one that has absorbed onion or garlic smells will transfer those off-flavors to the hyachae.
For a smoother, less bubbly texture, use slightly more milk than soda (4:3 ratio), rather than equal parts.
The juice from the fruit cocktail can is rich in fruit aroma and sweetness—never discard it; instead, include it in the base to boost flavor.
