vodka bottle frozen.

Renno123

hey guys, so my roommate just txt me giving out that her vodka bottle is half frozen. now the other lads had a sesh the other night while we were away. my mate reckons her vodka was watered down,.
now i know that the freezing point of pure alcohol is well below freezing (-21oc?????) but is there anything that would freeze in a freezer that they use to make the drink itself.?
just want to know if they could have been so sneeky, which wouldnt surprise me.
cheers

Didn't they have something on Mythbusters, where they used Vodka as anti freeze liquid?

The Vodka was watered down, for sure

I think we found the culprit.

Depends on the freezer and quality of the vodka but I have often kept vodka in the icebox of a fridge and it never freezes.

Vodka never freezes......not ever.

Dammit......slush puppies are so goddamm nice - but no good with Vod!

Shryke

Vodka doesn't freeze in a regular freezer. Definite shenanigans.

unkel

Vodka (37.5% vol alcohol or higher) is not frozen at -19C (that's as cold as 4 star domestic freezers get)

Someone has watered it down substantially...

Someone who underestimated the OP :cool:

I'll have some of what he's having





:pac:

Ghandee

I've had vodka go slushy on me before.

Not a chance it was watered down (I'm the only vodka drinker in my own house).

Absolut if it makes any difference.

Midnight Sundance

I've had vodka go slushy like a slush puppy on me. Brand new bottle. It was Smirnoff so should have been good but then again ive my doubts too... I bought it abroad so maybe they watered it down?!
Maybe there's a certain amount of condensation in an opened bottle that will freeze when frozen..

Pottler

Might have been Absolute Shyte?

Keep clear of that biddy, everywhere she goes, someone dies. I believe Pub Vodka freezes very well, not that it's ever watered down, or anything.

Could be cheap vodka either. Vodka will freeze, just not in a domestic freezer.
Check these out. Chemistry is your friend and maybe try Google next time

Fr_Dougal

Most vodkas will freeze in a freezer, especially if the freezer hasn't been defrosted in a while, Smirnoff is the easiest one to freeze.

Karona

We bought cheap vodka in Lanzarote, put it in the freezer and it was frozen solid the next day. Serves us right for buying the cheap stuff though.

Did you just use the words 'Smirnoff' and 'good' in the same sentence? Shame on you.

We had bottles of vodka in the freezer constantly last week and none of it froze, nor the jagermeister. The captain morgans didn't freeze either but it didn't mix properly with the pineapple juice and settled on top even after stirring.

Just thought I'd share that.

Shryke

I'll share this, do not mix ouzo and Coca Cola.

Intensive Care Bear

There has been a bottle of Grey Goose in our freezer for the last few weeks and its not frozen just really really cold.

Slattsy

Smirnoff will freeze in a domestic freezer.
Jaegermeister however does not freeze..

superblu

Have had a bottle of absolut vodka freeze on me before in the freezer.

Top or bottom half?

The water content is freezing while the alcohol is not. It is quite common.

Why has everyone got their vodka in the freezer?

I just keep mine in the press, and it never freezes...

Best cold, especially if you like it neat. Saves having to add ice.

fasttalkerchat

I started this thread when it happened to me: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=78601055

The only thing I've learned is that it happens to all alcohol below 40%

That Greek stuff from LIDL? What should you mix it with?

chrismon

Its frozen on me in the freezer before.

Reading that hurt my eyes..

humbert

This would suggest that it's touch and go depending on the exact concentration of alcohol and the freezer.

frozen vodka? not in the coldest, darkest depths of a homeless glasgow night

leverarch12

Drinking neat spirits make you go blind.
I've given up on the curiosity of drinking spirits over 40% neat. Unless it's homemade and I don't want upset my host, 'cos they've been drinking....

marshbaboon

There's only 2 degree threshold between the freezing point of absolut and the temperature of a domestic freezer.

It just froze. Thaw it out, drink some, and you'll quickly be able to tell if it's been watered down or not.

Don't mix ouzo with anything, especially the contents of your stomach.

flas

That..and if youre doing shots of vodka, having it ice cold makes it more more palatable.

Just do shots of something palatable instead :P

pickarooney

Is it Czech vodka? probably best to leave it alone.

TPD

I had a wee bottle of 160 proof blue absinthe in one of those big chest freezer yokes for a good while. Made for some damn tasteless shots and numb throats.

Were you in the freezer with the vodka by any chance?

Sulla Felix, I would like to apologise, I thanked a post that ridiculed your own post. However, in light of new information to me I feel your post is not only appropriate to the thread but also accurate.

Vodka should turn to a gel-like substance if it's been left in the freezer too long. It's been watered down for sure.

seamus

I've kept a bottle of smirnoff in a domestic freezer for months and it didn't freeze. Just goes very viscous, which is pretty cool.

Also had a bottle of Boru in the freezer for a couple of weeks. Same deal.

The bottle is actually pretty cool when you take it out - a coat of frost immediately forms on the bottle up to the line of the liquid.

If it freezes, then you've either got an unfeasibly cold freezer, or it's been watered down.

If your vodka gets any kind of ice crystals in it, then it's definitely been watered down. If it freezes, it should all freeze together.

I've had that happen too and i certainly hadn't watered down my own vodka. Was absolut too by the way. Nicest vodka going in my opinion!
