Watermelon flavoring

[jkrug]

I am ready to flavor and sweeten my watermelon wine. Any suggestions on how to flavor it. I will add a simple syrup to Sweeten a little but want to flavor it. Any ideas appreciated.

Brewers Best makes a watermelon flavoring that I've used in a skeeter pee. It's ok, but too much brings out the artificial taste.

Can I take some frozen fruit thaw and squeeze the juice from it. I know watermelon spoils easily. Would this work?

Any thoughts on this?

I honestly don't know. But most f-packs made from fruit are reduced by simmering to boil some of the water out for a more concentrated flavor. I just don't know if that will work with watermelon. Maybe some more experienced folks will respond.
