Choose the right watermelon
If you're buying a watermelon make sure that it is ripe. Check for tiny black spots inside the rind, called pollination dots. If the spots are not yellow or white, it means that they are unripe.
The texture of a ripe watermelon is thick and heavy. It should also be a bright red color with plenty of sweet flesh. It should also smell fresh and not have an off-odor.
It's possible to buy watermelon juice in your local supermarket, but it won't taste as good as the freshly made version. It may not be as juicy and sweet and you might need to use more to get the same flavor.
If you prefer to juice the watermelon, just place it in a blender and puree until smooth and sweet. This is a healthier alternative to bottled watermelon.
