Is it possible to store vodka in the freezer? At what temperature does a drink freeze?

You urgently need to cool the bottle, but you don’t know whether vodka freezes in the freezer and whether it can be drunk after that? Alcohol cooled in this quick way will not spoil at all after proper defrosting. This is also how the drink is checked for quality.

At what degrees does vodka freeze?

The freezing point of vodka depends on the alcohol content in it. The more alcohol in vodka, the lower the temperature for it to solidify. A 40% aqueous solution of ethyl alcohol will freeze at 23-29 degrees below zero. For a 30% drink the mark will rise to -17-20 degrees, for a 55% drink it will drop to 39-42 with a minus sign.

In a standard refrigerator freezer, the temperature ranges from –5 to –20 degrees. To test vodka for quality, set the temperature in the range of –22–27, if technology allows.

After some time, the vodka thickens, then becomes covered with an ice crust. For an alcoholic drink to freeze, a temperature of no higher than -27 degrees is required, or better yet, lower. Not every technique has this function.

For reference
In addition to water, the pour point is affected by the content of salts and sugars. Salt components lower the indicator, sugars and flavorings increase it. Therefore, read the composition of the purchased product.

Freezing and quality

Vodka is frozen not so much for long-term storage, but to check its quality.If the drink has completely turned into ice, this indicates a high percentage of sugars and other additives.

If the bottle was in a powerful freezer at a temperature below the required temperature, then its contents can be thawed and drunk - this vodka is good. The drink will not lose its properties after returning to room temperature.

If vodka hardens at temperatures above –22°, then its quality can be doubted. It's even worse if the drink changes color.

Important
The magazine purity-en.htgetrid.com strongly recommends defrosting vodka correctly: at room temperature, maximum with warm water. No microwaves!

Check the product by freezing to protect yourself from poisoning. There are reviews that even high-quality Beluga freezes at standard freezer settings.

Drinking culture

The freezer is great for quickly chilling a bottle of vodka. The optimal temperature for drinking an alcoholic drink is +8 degrees Celsius. If the time for the feast has not yet come, it is better to put vodka in the refrigerator.

Advice
Drinking warmer vodka is unpleasant, but drinking colder vodka is dangerous: the taste and smell are lost, and you can drink more than your body can handle.

How to store vodka? A refrigerator, and especially a freezer, is not needed for this; a dark place—a closed closet—will do. An open bottle is tightly sealed and not stored for a long time; the optimal place is away from foreign odors.

Any vodka will freeze if left in the cold for a long time. The main indicator is the rate of hardening and temperature in the chamber. In this way, you can distinguish counterfeits based on methyl (technical) alcohol that are dangerous to health.
