Frozen juices are a bit more pliant than water ice cubes, so you get different (generally better) results with ice trays. I also wrap mine in plastic to reduce oxidation and freeze-evaporation. The plastic wrap also helps with any other odors, although since I moved to using a dedicated upright freezer for juices, that's not really a problem. I use cheap-o sandwich baggies and store my frozen juices tightly together in long sticks. I have molds (shown in an earlier post in this thread) which are at the moment out of production and awaiting someone to come along and fund more production in China. They were being sold at Walmart and a number of other stores until the "manufacturer" and distributor exhausted their production run. [This is probably more than you wanted to know, but knowledge is a key to success, right?]

"Yes" to squeeze-n-freeze. I found that grapefruit juice, however, seems to age more rapidly than other juices and flavor intensity suffers with the passage of time. I have trees too, so I also get large volumes of juice seasonally. Lemon and lime works very well on one end of the scale and grapefruit not so well. But squeeze-n-freeze is a good solution especially for those spur-of-the-moment cocktail quests and urges that we all get...

Cheers guys!
