Frozen vodka

greencreeper · 07-09-2007, 01:16

Got a bottle of Smirnoff black label vodka. It says on the front of the bottle to freeze it. I don't think it will actually freeze - it's basically anti-freeze. But I'm a bit worried about putting glass in a freezer. Once did it was a bottle of coke. Freezer took some cleaning

Has anyone done it?

Not personally, but I've seen bottles of spirits kept in the freezer. It should'nt be a problem

Vodka won't freeze in your freezer, (it's not cold enough). It will thicken up slightly (and that's the best way to drink vodka).

I used to keep a bottle of Absolute in the freezer for about 2 years (I know it lasted long) but it never froze up and was just a bit thick.

no worries there the alcohol content is too high to freeze

have fun with it I would say

i have a few bottles in the freezer now, no problems with the glass bottles. although i do always open them and take a bit out of the top before puttting them in.

I spent six months in Amsterdam and all the bars there keep it in the freezer.

Barman takes out a "smoking" bottle and pours you a shot - it's delicious.

Just make sure you drink a few shots (real hardship) to allow expansion room before putting the bottle in the freezer !

My nephew has just returned from Moscow with some real Russian Vodka and on the bottle it recommends itÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s kept in the freezer. I got a taste for the stuff when my wife worked for a Russian company in Letchworth. Happy days as they (The Russian workers and managers) loved to get us Brits drunk some would not be seen after a few shots. We never did find out who was the KGB officer?

What he said.

I always have a bottle in the freezer....it's how it should be served.

Right then - will empty it a bit and put it in the freezer

I'm keen to try it neat and frozen. There's something called Jagermeister which is like cough medicine, and served frozen. It's an interesting drink. I found it made the floor drop lower

I was wanting a bottle of vodka because I've moved over to vodka and coke from rum and coke (easier on the stomach). Spotted the black label and thought, "Yeah - will have a bottle"

From a little book that came with my bottle, it also recomends to rub frozen vodka on an area of pain

me I drink the stuff then you just don't care, mine is called Black Ice

Many people who live past 100 year milestone, have a habit to drink 30-50 grams of vodka or cognac every day. It helps prevent atherosclerosis and improve blood circulation. Sometimes a little vodka can help to fall asleep easily. In the winter people may consume alcohol to stay warm.

Have a bottle of Vanilla Stolichnaya in the freezer all the time. I goes thicker and you do get ice crystals in it. Put a shot glass in the freezer too so that you can drink it as cold as possible

read about some some russains who fish on frozen rivers, and put the bottle in snow, the temp is about -65 degrees

I put Blue Lable Smirnoff (100 proof - 50% alcohol) in the freezer without opening it I have never had a problem, other than freezing my hand off holdong the bottle to pour a large one.
