Storage
Frozen watermelon slush is a refreshing and healthy treat. But how long can you store it before it goes bad? Frozen watermelon slush will last for up to two months in the freezer, if stored properly. To extend its shelf life, make sure to store the slush in a freezer-safe container with a tight-fitting lid. And be sure to leave some headroom in the container, as the slush will expand as it freezes. With proper storage, you can enjoy frozen watermelon slush all summer long!
