Citrus Cubes
Use a muffin tray to freeze these super simple, oversized, lemon or lime slice cubes and add to any cocktail to lend it a tart twist. This is also a great way to use up excess lemons and limes, as freezing them will preserve their freshness for much longer than your fridge will.

Herbal Ice Cubes
Seeing as greenery is the color of the year this year, these lively looking cubes are as trendy as they are tasty. Take your pick of herb for this recipe or mix and match a couple. Some ideas include mint, cilantro, rosemary, sage, or parsley. Freezing is also an excellent way to preserve your excess herbs, prolong their goodness, and prevent food waste.
