Unveiling the Mystery: Why Vodka Doesn’t Freeze
Fox News Flash top headlines are here. Check out what’s clicking on Foxnews.com.
If you put wine or beer in a freezer, it will be frozen solid in just a few hours.
But if you put vodka in your home freezer, it won’t freeze, even after weeks — or months.
So whether you’re blending vodka with fruit juices to create favorites like a screwdriver, crafting a vodka martini or mixing up a trendy Moscow Mule, having the beverage ice-cold — but not frozen — elevates the taste of the cocktail for sure.
DO HEALING CRYSTALS HAVE ANY SCIENTIFIC BACKING? SOME CITE REMARKABLE BENEFITS
It’s very common to store vodka in the freezer so that you have chilled vodka ready at a moment’s notice.
Still, you may have pondered why vodka never freezes in your home freezer.
Whether you’re blending vodka with fruit juices to create favorites like a screwdriver or crafting a vodka martini, having ice-cold vodka elevates the taste of the cocktail. But ever wonder why this spirit doesn’t freeze in a home freezer?
A science expert unveiled the chilling fact about why this alcohol-based beverage does not freeze in an average household freezer.
The constituent alcohol in liquor is essentially ethanol.
“The standard proof of Vodka is 80, implying that it comprises 40% of ethanol by volume,” stated Tara S. Carpenter, PhD, an authoritative lecturer at the University of Maryland Baltimore County’s department of chemistry and biochemistry in Baltimore.

“The other 60% is mostly water, although there can be added flavorings, sugar or dissolved impurities,” she said.
The freezing point of alcohol is much lower than the widely known freezing point for liquids such as water.
The freezing point of water is 0°C or 32°F, she said, while the freezing point of ethanol is -114.1°C or -173.5°F.
Since the freezing point of alcohol is much lower than the widely known freezing point for liquids such as water — vodka won’t freeze in an everyday home freezer.
Bottles of assorted alcoholic beverages. Although placing vodka in the freezer will slightly impact it, it won’t freeze completely in a standard freezer.
At roughly 40% alcohol (80-proof), vodka has a freezing point that hovers around -16 degrees Fahrenheit. Even if it’s stored in the freezer, it won’t completely solidify, as noted by Reader’s Digest.
Indeed, this is a valuable scientific lesson.
When we mix ethanol and water together, the resulting mixture has its own unique freezing point which is lower than that of pure water. This phenomenon is due to what’s known as freezing point depression, as explained by Carpenter.

That said, if you prefer your vodka without a mixer and on the rocks, or if shots of vodka are your go-to drink, storing it in your freezer is a sound strategy.
For most vodka, storing it in the freezer is the way to go, and it will probably make the shot much easier to handle, according to the VinePair.com.

If your vodka of choice is top-tier, skip the freezer, Grey Goose vodka creator Francois Thibault told Business Insider.
If you prefer a more budget-friendly vodka, he said it’s not a bad idea to keep it in the freezer, since cold temperatures may mask the vodka’s notes or properties, which could be “aggressive” and “burning,” according to Thibault.

La Finquita’s Tasting Room Closure: Business Update on Continued Wine Sales and Events
Charlie and Jess Koehler, proprietors of La Finquita Winery and Vineyard, cite the fervor of fellow vintners in the Ramona region and what they dub as “the modern allure of viticulture” as their motivation to delve into the winemaking industry.
Over time, Jess Koehler shares, La Finquita has cultivated a dedicated fanbase of recurrent patrons and wine club members, successfully marketing around eight to ten wine varieties, contingent upon the current culinary offering.
Approximately a year ago, the Koehlers, both grappling with distinct auto-immune health problems, declared their intent to shutter their tasting room. With the impending December 17 shutdown, the couple takes a moment to look back on their journey within the sector and to ponder on what the future may bring.
Charlie Koehler, a full-time IT employee who spends his days traversing the country for his profession, articulates that the occupation served as a welcome respite from the rigor of the corporate environment for him.
“I was on the road for eight weeks straight October through November,” he said. “I’ve been to 119 different hotels this year.”
Working the vineyard gave Koehler a break, and being able to take phone calls while out in the field was a highlight for him. Soon after the winery was started and work picked up, Jess Koehler took on more and more work around the winery, at 23123 Vista Ramona Road.
“A lot of the responsibility and day-to-day shifted to me, rather than both of us,” she said.
“Our whole goal was to do it together,” her husband said.
Wine played a significant role in the relationship of the couple, as shared by Jess Koehler. Being together, especially during their wine experiences, was crucial for them.
On their six months anniversary of being together in 2008, Charlie Koehler took Jess to Julian for an apple picking experience. They attempted to visit one of the wineries in Julian, however, it was so crowded that they didn’t get a chance to even step inside. It was Jess’s first time for a wine tasting.
Instead, they chose to visit the Schwaesdall Winery in Ramona, where they enjoyed a private tour and barrel tasting.
“We spent a major chunk of the day there, about three to four hours, and made really good friends with the owners,” shared Jess Koehler.
Several months later that same year, they were both offered a job at Schwaesdall. When Charlie Koehler proposed to Jess, he had two etched bottles of the tawny port the couple had tried during their first visit at Schwaesdall, made for the occasion.
This tawny port is made in a large tank at Schwaesdall, to which more wine is added to each year to build more flavor, Charlie Koehler said. A labor of love.
“It’s just kind of been throughout our relationship falling in love with each other and the world of wine,” Jess Koehler said.
Koehler said the couple has been dealing with significant health issues and decided to wrap up the La Finquita chapter to focus on health and family.
She mentioned that their fondness for the winery and their interaction with the clients remains strong. That’s why they’re sustaining the wine club. Additionally, La Finquita will keep on supplying other stores and restaurants, according to Charlie Koehler, even expanding their wholesale distribution to places as distant as Hillcrest.
Although the pair no longer produces wine, they still possess about 60 barrels and approximately 2,000 cases of wine. The wine and slush clubs will still operate for the forthcoming year, Jess Koehler assured, and they are welcoming new entrants.
“If the weather is extraordinarily pleasant, we’re considering setting up some spontaneous opening hours,” she expressed.
They announced that these openings would be accessible to all, however, the dates are yet to be determined.
Charlie Koehler announced plans to spend the next year determining their future course of action.
“We’re not removing any vines, we can still continue production,” he explained. “The key is figuring out just how much we want to produce and what the demand might be for the new style we’re planning to sell.”

The Shift from Beer to Cannabis: A Decline in Beer Consumption Trends
TD Cowen names alcohol producer Constellation Brands (STZ) as the company with the best growth story in US beer as sales of Modelo surged in 2023. TD Cowen Managing Director and Senior Research Analyst Vivien Azer joins Yahoo Finance Live to break down the current state of beer and wine consumption in the US.
Azer notes the decline in beer consumption and credits “intentional abstinence” by younger age groups that appear to be shifting to cannabis consumption, an industry that has seen revenue of $26 Billion. Azer sees this trend as a “dislocation” from alcohol to cannabis, which is making a dent in the alcohol market.
Speaking to M&A activity, Azer notes a “reversal” for craft beer acquisitions.
For more expert insight and the latest market action, click here to watch this full episode of Yahoo Finance Live.
DIANE KING HALL: And I want to ask– I don’t know if this comes up in your research. The impact of, say, the GLP-1 discussion, and there’s been talk about it impacting people’s appetite for beverage. Is that a headwind that is facing any of these beer makers?
VIVIEN AZER: Potentially, if we assume that the early adopters of GLP-1s are higher income consumers. Higher income consumers tend to over-index to wine. Where we have been very vocal around restraint with alcohol consumption as a combination of intentional abstinence, which we find to be outsized with younger consumers taking a week or month-long breaks, something like a Sober October or Dry January, as well as the interaction with cannabis.
The cannabis market is now $26 billion in revenues as of 2022. So that’s over 10% of the alcohol market, and it’s big enough now where we believe we’re seeing dislocation away from alcohol sales into the legal cannabis market. And it’s a way for consumers to take a break from alcohol by substituting it with cannabis.
We see a particular trend with 18 to 25-year-olds. There’s been over a decade long divergence where past month alcohol consumption with 18 to 25-year-olds has been on the decline. But reported past month cannabis incidents has been on the rise.
BRAD SMITH: For many companies, their growth story often revolves around strategic acquisitions. As such, are there any significant M&A activities we should be anticipating for next year? I’m particularly interested in brands that have done well independently and might be targeted by larger entities like Constellation, which has a history of making strategic acquisitions, to expand their portfolio.
VIVIEN AZER: 2022 is definitely going to be intriguing. Throughout the pandemic, there has been a trend reversal in M&A activity for beer specifically. Previously, we saw many acquisitions of craft beer brands, including Constellation Brands’ acquisition of Ballast Point, along with several others made by ABI and Molson Coors.
Recently, however, we’ve witnessed a de-acquisition of these assets. ABI, for example, offloaded nine brands to Tilray, a Canadian cannabis company that also owns Sweetwater in Atlanta and Montauk, a craft beer offered in New York. Major operators seem to be cleaning up their portfolios, while there has been an increase in bolt-on M&A activities within distilled spirits.
Discovering the Resurgence of Whiskey and Rum: Insights from DoorDash’s 2023 Trend Report
This week, the online order and food delivery platform DoorDash publicized its 2023 trend report, pointing out two new dominant spirits that have emerged this past year.
In 2023, DoorDash recorded a 648% surge in whiskey orders and a 317% rise in rum. “We saw a resurgence of old classics,” Alanna Shipley, a Consumer Insights Expert at DoorDash mentioned, revealing that cinnamon whiskey, Tennessee whiskey, and bourbon, as well as white rum, spiced rum, and coconut rum, were the top orders in their respective categories.
Shipley informed me that these spirits were not ordered by themselves. “We saw a variety of food pairings for these popular drinks,” she stated. “Those who love whiskey leaned into sweets, pairing their drink with candy such as sweet tarts, while those ordering rum paired their spirit with savory items like sour cream and onion chips.”
Even though whiskey and rum demonstrated a significant increase this past year, vodka remains on top of the list as the most ordered alcohol since DoorDash began delivering alcohol in 2021.
The second most popular after vodka is cabernet sauvignon, then comes prosecco, Irish whiskey, cinnamon whiskey, pinot grigio, pinot noir, hard seltzer, which according to DoorDash saw an 83% increase in orders year-over-year, tequila and moscato.
When it comes to America’s preferred alcohol orders for 2023, vodka still remains at the top, followed by hard seltzer, then tequila, sauvignon blanc, prosecco, whiskey, pinot grigio, lager beer, pinot noir and rum.
DoorDash also identified other popular alcohol-related trends like requests for the day after drinking. The company disclosed popular occasions referred as “holiday hangovers,” where they observed a surge in orders for necessities like ibuprofen the day following events like St. Patrick’s Day, Halloween and New Year’s Eve. The increase in orders for ibuprofen was over 400% after Halloween.
Among the top items ordered along with ibuprofen were cognac, cheesesteaks, nacho fries, bacon egg and cheese, and cold brew coffee.
DoorDash’s annual report highlighted geography-based trends beyond wine and spirits. It discovered that Los Angeles, Chicago, and Houston were the cities with the highest number of coffee orders in the year. Notable mentions from the report include 2023’s high-demand desserts, top grocery items, and intriguing food pairings.
The report also offers predictions for 2024, among which is an anticipated surge in the use of on-demand delivery services during holidays and festive periods. Also, the year is expected to witness a boom in late-night snacks with a 36% year-on-year increase in orders from midnight to 5 a.m., a trend predicted to continue upwards.
Exploring the Resurgence of Whiskey and Rum: Highlights from DoorDash’s 2023 Trends Report
This week, online ordering and food delivery platform DoorDash released its 2023 trends report, noting two new spirits of choice that emerged in the past year.
In 2023, DoorDash witnessed a 648% increase in whiskey orders and a 317% increase in rum. “We saw old classics make a comeback,” said Alanna Shipley, Consumer Insights Expert at DoorDash, who shared that cinnamon whiskey, Tennessee whiskey and bourbon versus white rum, spiced rum and coconut rum were the top orders within their respective categories.
Shipley told me that both spirits weren’t ordered alone, however. “We saw an array of different food pairings for these popular sips,” she said. “Whiskey lovers leaned into sweets, pairing the drink with candy like sweet tarts, [and] we saw those ordering rum pair the spirit with savory eats like sour cream and onion chips.”
Though whiskey and rum achieved a surprising increase this past year, since DoorDash expanded into alcohol delivery in 2021, they’ve been tracking the most popular orders. Here, vodka tops the list of most-ordered alcohol.
The second most popular after vodka is cabernet sauvignon, then prosecco, Irish whiskey, cinnamon whiskey, pinot grigio, pinot noir, hard seltzer which according to DoorDash experienced an 83% increase in orders year-over-year, followed by tequila and moscato.
When analyzing the top favored alcohol orders specifically for the year 2023, vodka maintains its premier position with hard seltzer closely tailing it, then comes tequila, sauvignon blanc, prosecco, whiskey, pinot grigio, lager beer, pinot noir, and rum.
DoorDash identified some other alcoholic trends that were in high demand the day after consumption. They highlighted what they refer as “holiday hangovers”, where the morning following events like St. Patrick’s Day, Halloween, and New Year’s Eve saw a large increase in orders for ibuprofen, experiencing more than a 400% surge after Halloween, and other remedies for a hangover.
Along with ibuprofen, a top ordered item was cognac, with additional orders for items like cheesesteaks, nacho fries, bacon egg and cheese, and cold brew coffee.
DoorDash’s yearly report revealed regional trends outside of wine and spirits. Cities like Los Angeles, Chicago, and Houston were highlighted for their high number of coffee orders. Plus, insights about the most unique food combinations, favorite desserts, and top grocery lists for 2023 were identified.
The report also shared future indicators for 2024. This includes an expected increase in reliance on on-demand delivery services during festive periods and holidays, and an emphasis on late-night snacking. According to their data, late-night orders from midnight to 5 a.m. have seen a 36% surge year-over-year and this trend is predicted to continue.

The company has unveiled an 18-year-old straight bourbon whiskey dubbed the “Bootleg Series Volume V” release. A new release for 2023, the bourbon is finished in Spanish vermouth rouge casks for a rich and complex aroma that features notes of dark fruit, caramel and spice, with subtle vanilla undertones. The ceramic bottle, meantime, features one of Dylan’s original paintings (itself inspired by his road trips across America) and everything is presented in a bespoke leather journal.
BUY: HEAVEN’S DOOR BOOTLEG SERIES VOLUME V $115
This is the fifth release in Heaven’s Door’s “Bootleg” series, which was first launched in 2019. The company’s inaugural “Decade Series,” meantime, was unveiled last year and is also available to order online via ReserveBar.com, making it a great Christmas gift idea.
The Decade Series is a limited-edition collection of ultra-premium American whiskeys, each aged for 10 years or more. The first release in the series is a high-rye 10-year-old straight bourbon whiskey, available at a suggested price of $95 online.
BUY: HEAVEN’S DOOR DECADE SERIES 01, $95
The whiskey is bottled at 100 proof and features notes of maple, poached pear and banana on the nose, with a toffee and bitter chocolate palate. The finish is long and silky, with a hint of leather and earthiness.
The inaugural release of the Decade Series collection is not its inception. The creators of Heaven’s Door claim its genesis to be over a decade ago, marking the hand-selection of barrels from boutique producers nationwide.
Heaven’s Door releases a statement articulating their excitement for the release, which they assert brings an exclusive taste to the world of whiskey. According to them, their Tennessee bourbon brings a non-conventional mash bill, featuring 22% rye and devoid of charcoal mellowing. They describe its distillation as evoking more traditional Kentucky bourbon tastes.
The initial release of the Heaven’s Door Decade Series can be purchased online for home delivery via Reserve Bar. All bottles in the Heaven’s Door line encapsulate Dylan’s ironwork sculptures on their labels, a detail dating back to the brand’s introduction in 2015 by Dylan, a bootleg whiskey enthusiast.
New releases from Dylan’s whiskey brand are consistently being introduced, with recent additions including a Heaven’s Door Cask Strength Single Barrel 2021, and a collaboration with Heaven’s Door Whiskey and Redbreast Irish Whiskey which quickly sold out last May but is now . All the Heaven’s Door releases can be found online at ReserveBar.com.

Unveiling The Rolling Stones’ New Crossfire Hurricane Rum: Details from Florida Bottling
Rolling Stones fans? It’s all right now.
In fact, it’s a gas. Or rather a liquid.
One of the world’s greatest and most influential rock bands is introducing its first-ever spirit, Crossfire Hurricane Rum, a premium blend of rums from Jamaica, Barbados and the Dominican Republic named after the opening lyric of their iconic 1968 song, “Jumpin’ Jack Flash.” And it’s being bottled in Florida.
“Take your tongue for a ride with Crossfire Hurricane,” the band says at crossfirehurricane.com. “This aged, blended rum is our tribute to the islands that have inspired us for decades. Enjoy it neat, on the rocks or in the cocktail of your choosing.
“But never in silence.”
The rum, part of a partnership with Universal Music Group and Socio Ventures, will be bottled and packed at The Point Distillery in New Port Richey, according to a release from the Pasco Economic Development Council.
The announcement came in November, just before the rock royalty band announced a new U.S. tour for 2024 (they’ll be in Orlando on June 3, here’s how to get tickets) and released its first new album since 2005, “Hackney Diamonds,” which debuted at No. 1 on the U.K. albums chart and No. 3 on the Billboard 200 album chart. That makes the seemingly immortal band the first act with a top 10 album in every decade since the 1960s.
What’s kept the band jumpin’ — and relevant — for over 60 years as Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood, the late Charlie Watts, and past members like Brian Jones and Bill Wyman blended blues, rock, and rhythm and blues into a signature sound and changed the landscape of rock and roll?
"I want a real fine car, fly Miami too," Jagger sang on the song "Luxury." "All the rum I want to drink it, all the whiskey too."
"The Stones’ love affair with rum began in the ’70s while recording their album ‘Goats Head Soup’ in Kingston, Jamaica," according to a statement from Universal Music Group. "The Caribbean’s boisterous energy and music took hold of the group over the decades and Mick Jagger and Keith Richards often locate themselves on the islands when the band is off the road, it says."
"To us, the Caribbean is more than just a beautiful place. It’s a part of our story," the band said on the rum’s website.
Together with their legendary musical talent and Mick Jagger’s magnetic, frenzied front-man performances, the band has turned into the epitome of rock and roll excess and rebellion. Their site does advise caution, though.
“Always remember to Rock and Roll responsibly,” it says.
It’s described as “a thoughtfully blended rum perfectly aged in carefully selected oak barrels,” according to the release. “The liquid boasts flavors of caramelized bananas followed by a gentle hint of tropical fruit.”
The 700-ml, 40% ABV bottle can be pre-ordered now at crossfirehurricane.com or ReserveBar.com for $37 and should begin shipping early in December. Crossfire Hurricane should start showing up on store shelves in select states in early 2024, according to Beverage Industry.
Of course, they do. On the crossfirehurricane.com site, the band suggests:
Two Licks: 2 oz of Crossfire Hurricane Rum into an ice-filled old fashioned glass, garnish with two black cherries on a cocktail pick.
Gold and Stormy: 1.5 oz of Crossfire Hurricane Rum in an ice-filled Collins glass, with lime juice and ginger beer stirred in, then a dash of Angostura Bitters and garnish with a black cherry and lime wheel on a cocktail pick.
Crossfire Mojito: Crossfire Hurricane Rum, simple syrup and lime poured over pressed mint leaves, topped with beer and crushed ice, garnished with a mint bouquet.
Crossfire Espresso Martini: Crossfire Hurricane Rum, espresso, agave syrup and ice, shaken, strained into a chilled coupe, garnished with a fine dusting of espresso and swirled with a straw “to make a hurricane.”
