🍉
Unlike apple juice, which is shelf-stable and easy to mass-produce, watermelon juice is delicate:
It’s 92% water, which makes it prone to separation and spoilage
Fresh watermelon juice only stays good for 12 to 24 hours, even when refrigerated
Because of this, grocery stores rarely stock pure watermelon juice in the same way they do apple or orange juice
🍉
Instead, what you’ll usually find are “watermelon juice drinks”—blends that include:
Added sugars
Preservatives
Other juices (like grape, pear, or apple)
Artificial flavors to mimic watermelon taste
Brands like Simply and Minute Maid offer watermelon-flavored drinks, but they’re not 100% watermelon juice.

Where You Can Find It
Some health food stores or specialty markets carry 100% watermelon juice in small batches-
Brands like CoCo Joy and Namai offer canned versions with minimal additives they say-
Or—you can make it yourself with a blender and a ripe melon. It’s easy, fresh, and mythically hydrating
