Vodka in freezer, how cold is too cold?

[OrganizedChaos]

This is probably a stupid question but how cold can vodka be before its too cold to drink safely?

Too cold to drink safely??? Just throw it in the freezer and don't worry about it.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

It's not safe to drink at any temperature. Ethanol is a poison of the devil's work.

the fuck?

 

[Broheim]

unless you start mixing your vodka with liquid nitrogen you're gonna be fine.

The moment the glass shatters while spilling the vodka everywhere is when it is to cold.

1- Cool vodka in freezer
2- attempt to light cool vodka on fire
3- if 2 successful, not cold enough, cool more

might require some liquid CO2 or nitrogen.

Donot worry, vodka can be put into freezer and forgotten, everyone knows this!

If it's frozen solid (which requires temperatures lower than what your freezer can achieve), it might be too cold, otherwise don't worry about it

Vodka won't freeze until it hits about -40...

The freezer is the perfect place for it until it hits your bell-ay...

If you mix it with other stuff you could freeze it easier (I think).

Depending on the concentration, it'll be slush. Ever have a frozen Margaretta?

I was at a bar that used liquid nitrogen for some of the drinks and I was curious if the bartender had ever used it to freeze 80 proof liquors before....he proceeded to make some frozen tequila and frozen vodka with strawberries in it for some of the girls hanging out. The nitrogen evaporated (I assume, I don't know if that's the right term) pretty quickly and then it was just a matter of waiting for it to warm up a little bit so as not to freeze burn your mouth.

The only reason to put booze in the freezer is to make it so you can't taste it. If you are trying to mask the taste, either buy better vodka or drink something else that you actually like.

What? I put mine in the freezer so that my drinks are cold.

This - The cold dulls the taste of the spirit.

Not that Vodka really has much of a taste, since the trend for a long time (for premium vidka, anyhow)has been to distill, re~distill, and then distill again to remove any 'impurities'. Some of these 'impurities', of course, also provide flavor.

I don't believe it's a big deal at all to chill/freeze it if you're using it for mixing. - The mixer is going to mask/change the taste anyhow, so what difference does it make if the spirit is chilled beforehand? So you Bourbon and Coke fans should still feel free to freeze the hell out of whatever's in the bottle.


Just be advised that a fan of Scotch would recoil in horror (and might even beat you mercilessly!!) should you place a fine bottle in the freezer. Neat, please. With spring water on the side.

Assuming you're making mixed drinks, that's what shakers and ice are for.

lol, people mask the taste because it's nothing but ethanol dissolved in water, and ethanol tastes like shit. Even if you buy "better" vodka.

Ha, in my college apartment our freezer would make vodka into slush.

I noticed whilst in college that cheap vodka had a tendancy to separate and freeze into a slush like mixture while a bottle of quality vodka sitting next to it remained fine.

OP, your underage status is totally showing. Lots of people store their vodka in the freezer all the time, not just when they want to drink it.
