Why doesn't gin freeze when you put it in the freezer?

Question

i have a bottle of gin in the freezer for months. cannot get it to freeze. how come?

Answer 1

The alcohol lowers the freezing point of it to the point that it won't freeze, it's similar to putting antifreeze in your car's radiator.

Answer 2

Alcohol can freeze, it's freezing point is -114 degrees C. Water's freezing point is 0 degrees C. The higher the alcohol content, the lower the freezing point. Generally, your average household freezer doesn't reach temperatures low enough to freeze anything over about 40% ABV.

Answer 3

all substances have a different freezing/melting point, and vaporization point (evaporation).  the freezing point of alcohal is much lower than that of water.  u can freeze alcohal but it has to be much much colder. which ruins my dreams of having a corona popsicle.
