Hi guys, Does anyone have any tried and tested watermelon based recipes, please? Had a quick look on Google - found one for 16% Watermelon and 9% cream I would have thought that might have a significant impact on a "fresh" watermelon taste? Cheers, Andy

Hi Andy, What brand(s) are the flavouring?
The few attempts at watermelon I tried (TFA / TW "Gold" and a mix of both) tended to be more of a sweet melon flavour VS a true "fresh" watermelon taste. If I remember correctly, the flavour was good at first, but after a few weeks, seemed to fade to a cucumber/mellow melon/cantaloupe type flavour. All the mixes seemed sweeter than expected despite NOT adding additional sweetener to the recipes.
Good luck I

Good luck I I had a Lorann melon concentrate (cant remember if it was melon or watermelon) and though it had a refreshing element to it, was pure cucumber through and through

I think Cap has a double WM and a sweet WM, either way, 16% seems extreme. imo\
My list for WM flavours to try/buy next has Inawera and FA at the top. (They both are suggested at below 5% stand alone) as always, I'll try to find the stand alone percentage I like and adjust as I add mixers.
Have fun I
