All your questions answered on alcohol slushies!

Why does the alcohol turn into a slushie?

When alcohol is exposed to freezing temperatures, its freezing point is lowered due to its chemical properties. Because the alcohol is mixed with soft drink (lemonade in this case) the lemonade freezes but the alcohol does not, creating a frosty slush consistency.

What percentage of alcohol is inside Suntory 196 Double Lemon?

Suntory 196 Double Lemon contains 6% alcohol, which contributes to its ability to freeze and transform into a slushie. I have found premixed drinks under 4% do not give you the slushie texture but are more of an iceblock.

Why doesn't the alcohol fully freeze like water?

Alcohol has a lower freezing point than water, which means it requires colder temperatures to completely solidify.

The percentage of alcohol present in premixed drinks like Suntory 196 Double Lemon affects the freezing point and can result in a slushie texture rather than a solid freeze.

Will alcohol explode in the freezer?

No, alcohol will not explode in the freezer. Alcohol has a much lower freezing point than water, which means it will remain liquid even at very low temperatures. However, some alcoholic beverages may freeze partially or completely in the freezer, depending on their alcohol content and the temperature of the freezer. 

For example, beer and wine have low alcohol content and may freeze in a home freezer, whereas vodka and whiskey have higher alcohol content and will not freeze

What alcohol slushie recipes can I make at home?

Get creative and experiment with different alcoholic spirits, wines, and fruits to craft a wide range of homemade alcohol slushie recipes. The possibilities are endless, allowing you to concoct unique and refreshing cocktails to suit your taste preferences.

Can I achieve the same results with other premixed drinks?

Absolutely! The freezing potential of different premixed drinks may vary based on their alcohol content and other ingredients.

It's a fun experiment to try with various brands and flavours to see which ones lend themselves to the perfect slushie consistency. Low % alcohol content will not result in a slushie consistency.

Are there any safety precautions to keep in mind?

Yes, safety first! Freezing alcohol can cause increased pressure within the container, so it's important to store the can in a plastic bag to prevent potential explosions. 

Tapping the can and opening the lid slightly allow excess gas and air bubbles to escape safely.

And just like that, we've reached the end of our frosty escapade into the world of alcohol slushies. What a journey it's been, my slushie-loving friends! We've explored the depths of flavour, unlocked the secrets of freezing magic, and sipped on icy concoctions that have tantalized our taste buds. But fear not, the slushie adventure doesn't end here!
