A preparation method of a watermelon soft drink is provided to enhance the taste and flavor of the watermelon soft drink by using watermelon sugar and watermelon aroma instead of sugars. A preparation method of a watermelon soft drink comprises the steps of: (i) squeezing juice from watermelon to obtain watermelon juice; (ii) obtaining watermelon sugar and watermelon aroma from a part of the watermelon juice by as much as the weight corresponding to the sugar-content difference between a watermelon soft drink and the watermelon juice; (iii) putting 0.02~0.3wt% of carrageenan (based on the weight of a watermelon soft drink) in the watermelon sugar, stirring it to obtain a firstly dispersed material, putting the firstly dispersed material in the remaining watermelon juice, secondly dispersing it by stirring, and heating it at 80~99°C for 5sec~5min to obtain a watermelon soft drink; and (iv) putting 0.1~5wt% of the watermelon aroma (based on the weight of a watermelon soft drink) in a sterilized container, putting the watermelon soft drink obtained from the step (iii) in the container, heat-sterilizing it at 80~99°C for 30~45min, and cooling it to 25~30°C, followed by shearing, labeling and packing.
