How to use

There are so many different uses for Fresh Watermelon Juice! You can serve as is as simply watermelon infused water or mix with milk to make watermelon shakes or smoothies. Or mix with vodka, rum, tequila or gin to make a wide range of watermelon cocktails like Watermelon Rose Margaritas.

Turn the juice into Watermelon Simple Syrup to make Watermelon Shaved Ice or Fresh Fruit Syrup Snow Cones.

You can even use the leftover pulp and a little watermelon juice to make a delicious marinade for grilled or roasted watermelon chicken. Or even make a hydrating and naturally exfoliating face mask from the watermelon pulp.

Additionally feel free to add herbs and other juices to make a wide range of watermelon juice combinations. Try watermelon mint, watermelon lemon, strawberry watermelon, watermelon and kiwi and even watermelon and pineapple juice combined.

Shelf life

Watermelon juice does not have a very long shelf life and will start to change texture after 2 days. To preserve watermelon juice for longer use it to make watermelon simple syrup. Simmer the ‘watermelon water’ with equal parts granulated sugar until sugar dissolves then refrigerate for up to 30 days.
