The fresh taste of a frozen drink is definitely appealing, especially during the summer months.
Many people choose freezing as a quick solution to serve their favorite alcoholic beverages cold, but this practice is not always ideal and in some cases, can lead to a spoiled taste.
In fact, as you will see below, some alcoholic beverages not only should not be frozen, but they also lose their flavor.
Which alcoholic beverages cannot withstand freezing?
Gin: Very low temperatures spoil the aromas of the drink and reduce the intensity of its flavor. In fact, it is recommended to store it at room temperature. However, if you want to freeze it, it is better to put it in the refrigerator.
Tekila: Although tequila does not completely freeze due to its high alcohol content, refrigeration reduces its aromas and if it sits in the refrigerator for too long, it will completely lose any complexity it may have.
Whiskey, rum and cognac: Dark-colored drinks become cloudy when refrigerated and lose their flavor, especially aromas. Many experts advise that if you've paid a lot for an alcoholic beverage, it's best to keep it out of the refrigerator.
Which alcoholic beverages can be put in the refrigerator?
Vodka: Due to its flavor, it is ideally served cold. However, a very low temperature for an extended period of time can lead to the loss of its most distinctive flavors.
Some "ready-made" cocktails: There are ready-made cocktails that can be refrigerated before serving, so that the cocktail is chilled, without being diluted by the addition of ice. There is always a reference on their packaging whether or not they can be refrigerated.
And if not in the refrigerator, then where can they be stored?
Experts agree that if you want to enjoy a cold, but not spoiled, alcoholic beverage, the solution lies in using a refrigerator or a special refrigerator, such as a wine refrigerator.
Additionally, you can use chilled glasses or large ice cubes that melt slowly, without diluting the drink quickly.
