I have a lifelong acquaintance with booze. Well, not until I was 13, or
so..........

Was a bartender in Local 165, Las Vegas. Owned clubs.

Anyhoo, I know a little about booze.

Now, I like to keep my booze refrigerated, or better yet, in the freezer.
It makes a large difference in the taste, consistency of poured drinks, and
the amount of time it takes to melt the ice.

Does anyone else practice this? Well, there's no practicing to it, you
either do it or not.

Bill W. fans and Moronites, please do not respond. Unless, of course, you

I keep Vodka and Akavit in the freezer. Once in a while I have a shot of
one or the other ice cold. I don't bother with the other liquors.

I keep my vodka bottle in the deep freezer (about -5 degrees F.) And
lately I've been keeping some gin in there too.

The vodka makes good shots to drink with fiery hot peppery shrimp
dishes, or just to mix with whatever. The gin is for G&T's or to add to
diet ginger ale.

I keep my homemade limoncello in the freezer, and my Seagrams Peach
Sweet Tea Vodka in the fridge. I have a full sized beverage fridge out
in in the garage so I guess I could put more bottles in there for use
but don't.

Vodka is commonly kept in the freezer and the waiter may bring a block
of ice to your table with the bottle inside. Pepper vodka (and I don't
mean Absolut Peppar made with green peppers) is best gulped at freezer
temperatures. I keep such a bottle of homemade pepper vodka in my
freezer.

I do keep my gin and vodka in the fridge for colder summer drinks, but I
never thought of keeping other booze there. Guess it's time to clean out the
fridge and make room for such important stuff!

I keep my vodka and Limoncello in the freezer,and when it's getting warm,
the Gin goes in either the fridge or the freezer, depending on how much is
going to be drunk :-)

I also put opened bottles of red wine in the fridge, as it keeps for an
extra 5 or so days......... *especially* when it's warm.

What you said, Dave. I don't see the point in putting any other booze
in the freezer.

Y'know, I was gonna ask Christine Dabney about that. I'm making some
limoncello for the cook in and, insofar as the finished product has a
couple of cups of simple syrup in it, can I freeze it without it
blowing up all over the freezer?

It doesn't freeze, it only turns into a nice syrupy consistency

The adolescent fascination with a liquid that looks very much like
water NOT freezing in the freezer.

And 100 other justifications.

I'm curious--do you know the freezing point offhand? Both alcohol and
sugar depress the freezing point of water but I'm too lazy to figure out
what it should be from your recipe. Of course it's also going to make a
difference what strength vodka you use.

In principle, sugar depresses the freezing point of water but doing
experiments is difficult because water-sugar solutions do not freeze
quickly and form syrups. You can get water (ice) crystals from an
alcohol solution and that is how applejack is made.

My husband keeps Jaegermeister in the freezer, and Bailey's in the
fridge. He uses the Bailey's exclusively in coffee; I drink it neat.
Other liquors are on a shelf in the kitchen. We don't drink much
hard stuff.

Oh, and he's infused a small amount of vodka with lemongrass,
and that's in the fridge, too, awaiting enough leisure to have
cocktails.

He had lemongrass-infused vodka in Seattle a few years ago. It
seemed to be pretty common, from what he said.

I hope I remember to report. We don't drink on weeknights.
Weekends we're busy working on the house. I'm afraid to have
a drink for fear it would make me too lazy to fix supper, or
that it would lead to insomnia as it sometimes does. I'm such
a lightweight these days.
