This can be made from the fresh juicy pulp of ripe watermelon fruit or from the artificially flavored sugary powder juice formula.
For fresh watermelon fruit, the fruit is cut open or sliced into cuts, and the pulp is scooped out and put into the blender, added with ice, milk, and some white sugar, and then processed in the blender until the ice is finely crushed and transferred to a tall glass with a sipping straw.
When fresh fruit is not available, powdered watermelon juice formula is used. The powder juice is also processed in the blender with some ice and crushed finely in the blender.
Fresh or powdered milk is added to give the shake its creamy taste. A moderate amount of refined white sugar is also added to give more sweetness to this cold refreshment.
Pakwan shake is ideally poured and served in a tall transparent glass tumbler and with a sipping straw, and sometimes garnished with a miniature paper umbrella, especially during summer or any hot seasons, while at the poolside or at the beach.
