Refrigerate the lime juice, but not the other mix because you'll want that at room temperature to get the right ice meltage. The "plastic wrap over the lime juice so it doesn't oxidize" is also a key component, allowing one to squeeze several hours ahead of time. Or fill a bottle right to the tippity-top so that some lime juice spills out when you cork it. [ Edited by: Scottes 2007-11-05 17:35 ]
