FAQ
How should I keep my watermelon juice fresh?
After whipping up your delicious watermelon juice, pop it into an airtight container and keep it chilled in the refrigerator. It tastes the best when fresh but should be sipped up within 3-4 days for top-notch flavor and quality.
Just give it a quick stir before pouring yourself a glass, as might naturally separate a bit. Enjoy!
Is it possible to freeze juice?
You can freeze watermelon juice! Just pour the juice into ice cube trays for easy, handy portions. Once they’re frozen, move the cubes to a resealable plastic bag or container. They’ll stay good for about 2-3 months.
Feel free to pop them into a glass of water for a refreshing twist or blend them into a smoothie for a fun, fruity kick!
