The Flavor Apprentice (TFA) is a leading producer of water-soluble flavourings.
Watermelon captures a classic melon profile: juicy red flesh, clean sweetness, a subtle green rind nuance and a refreshing soda-friendly finish—ideal for lemonades/sodas, slushes, fruit/berry blends and light desserts. Use: Concentrate that must be diluted. TFA flavours are water-soluble and PG-carried; some may contain traces of ethanol. Note: We purchase in bulk and re-bottle into smaller bottles (not the original packaging).

Tips for this flavour
- Dosing start: 6–9% standalone; 0.5–4% as an accent. Overuse may read floral or cucumber-like.

- Cooling, no mint: 0.25–0.6% Koolada; for minty freshness add a touch of Menthol Liquid.
- Pairings: strawberry, raspberry, Kiwi Double, lime/lemon, Cantaloupe, Honeydew II, grape.
- Juiciness & bind: 0.5–1.5% Dragonfruit to emulsify and lift the blend.
- Round the edges: 0.25–0.5% Marshmallow or 0.25–0.5% Vanilla Swirl for a softer body.
- Steeping: 0–3 days—fruits settle quickly; fine-tune sweet/tart after a short rest.
