Succulence mostly just in ices somehow (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

juiciness

'succulence' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'mostly just in ices somehow' is the wordplay.
'mostly' means to remove the last letter (most but not all of the word).
'somehow' indicates an anagram.
'just' with its final letter removed is 'jus'.
'jus'+'in'+'ices'='jusinices'
'jusinices' is an anagram of 'JUICINESS'.

(Another definition for juiciness that I've seen is " Prized quality in fruit".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
