After finishing our AP tests, we decided to finally have some fun and try a new treat. We ended up landing on hwachae, which is like a Korean fruit punch. Because we often see people making it online, we were curious about the taste, and we had to hop on the trend. After a quick trip to Safeway, we were ready to make and try the refresher.
First, we got our ingredients ready. Instead of following the traditional way of using strawberry milk, we used the Starbucks Pink Drink (because we were too lazy to look through the whole store).
After chopping up all the fruit and putting it in the bowl, we were ready to finally make this fruit salad much more interesting.
We added the pink drink and a bottle of sprite, then started mixing it to complete our hwachae. Now was the moment of truth—is hwachae worth the hype?
Samhita – 10/10
It was so good that I HAD to take some home. The refresher combined with my favorite fruits made this an automatic 10/10. I think adding a pink drink instead of milk was definitely the move! WE will definitely be making this again.

It was sooooo yummy! Definitely the perfect thing to start off the summer. It’s like a fruit salad but taken to the next level. Bonus points because you can make it in like five minutes. I think it is worth the hype!
