Can vodka be stored in the freezer? At what temperature does the drink freeze

You urgently need to cool the bottle, but you don’t know if vodka freezes in the freezer and is it possible to drink it after that? Alcohol cooled by this quick method after proper defrosting does not spoil at all. And also in this way the drink is checked for quality.

At how many degrees vodka freezes

The freezing temperature of vodka depends on its alcohol content. The more alcohol in vodka, the lower the temperature for solidification. A 40% aqueous solution of ethyl alcohol will icy at 23–29 degrees below zero. For a 30% drink, the mark rises to –17–20 degrees, for a 55% drink, it drops to 39–42 with a minus sign.

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

After a while, the vodka thickens, then it becomes ice-crusted. In order for an alcoholic beverage to freeze, a temperature of not higher than -27 degrees is required, but better - lower. Not every technique has such a function.

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

Freeze and quality

Vodka is frozen not so much for long-term storage as for checking 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 lower than necessary, then its contents can be thawed and drunk - this vodka is good. A drink after returning to room temperature will not lose its properties.

If vodka hardens at a temperature above –22 °, then one can doubt its quality. Even worse if the drink changes color.

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

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

Drinking culture

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

Tip
Drinking warmer vodka is unpleasant, and colder is dangerous: this way taste and smell are lost, and you can drink more than the body can withstand.

How to store vodka? There is no need for a refrigerator, much less a freezer, a dark place is suitable - a closed cabinet. The open bottle is tightly corked and not stored for a long time, the optimal place is away from extraneous odors.

With a long stay in the cold, any vodka will freeze. The main indicator is the pour point and the temperature in the chamber. In this way, it is possible to distinguish health-related counterfeits based on methyl (technical) alcohol.
