Calamity Jane Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 After work today, I was truly torn as to whether to have a beer or a popsicle to aid in cooling down. And by 'truly torn' I mean it actually took about 3 whole minutes of wavering before beer won out. But it got me thinking about the feasibility of beersicles. Has anyone ever tried to make them? Is this just an awesome, untapped idea waiting to explode on the Canadian scene? I've just put some beer-filled popsicle molds in the freezer so I'll let y'all know tomorrow how it works out. (unless someone already knows they'll be duds....let me know, but let me down gently, okay) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gr8FuL Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 The Beersicles is NOT a good idea, freezing beer turns its Skunky, which in the case of beer is not a good thing ...Try em if ya want..but dont make too many plans for the next day.....

Kaidy Mae Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Pina coladasicles are tasty! However, because they are already in chilly, blended form, it is excruciatingly hard to possess the patience to wait for them freeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PalacePrincess Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 how did the beersicles go, deb?i tried winesicles once.... bad, bad idea.*shudder* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calamity Jane Posted June 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 okay, the update:truly, truly disappointing.Gr8Ful was right about the skunkiness -- they even smelled 'off' without even trying a taste. but the worst part is that they were mostly ice crystals with no discernible beer flavour at all!!!okay -- who has successfully made a alcoholsicle of any kind? Is it possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Won't the whole alcohol-not-freezing bit stand in your way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Ethanol will freeze, but at a much lower point than your freezer will get to. A mixture of ethanol and water will have an even lower freezing point.http://van.hep.uiuc.edu/van/qa/section/States_of_Matter_and_Energy/Melting_and_Freezing/20030423162848.htmAloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calamity Jane Posted June 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 frikken' Catch 22. beerwill freeze but goes skunkybooze won't freeze but sure would be yummy.I guess that means frozen blender drinks and alcohol slushies it'll have to be. But damn! I wanted booze on a stick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 But damn! I wanted booze on a stick!Take:1 bottle of beer1 8" piece of 1x21 12" piece of duct tapePlace the piece of 2x2 against the bottle, parallel to it, so that 6" of the 2x2 sticks out past the bottom of the bottle. Wrap the duct tape around the stick/bottle.Voila!(Poster assume no responsbility for anything going wrong as a result of attempts to actually try this whacky stunt.)Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calamity Jane Posted June 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 I'm still looking forward to crowning yer crown, but you are a literal sumbitch, ain't ya? (is this REALLY the winky smiley?) okay -- i really wanted yummy, tasty, frozen booze on a stick!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 OK, I'm literal, and deal with (and notice, and interpret) words the way some musicians deal with (and notice, and interpret) musical notes and chords. But when you said "booze on a stick", I had a vision of some beer company CEO telling a new underling in his product development labs, "I've got a great idea: beer on a stick! Make it happen!" and having the underling produce just what I described, after millions of dollars in research. After this, there would be scenes of people standing around with their beers on sticks, claiming how cool a product it was. I'll stop now. For now.

Calamity Jane Posted June 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 you is a funny man! I totally love the absurdity (and agree with) the R&D taking months and millions to come up with what you describe. I can almost see the TV commercial!

arcane Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 I'll stick with strawberry daquiris, thanks. No booze in 'em for me this summer, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabidmonkey Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 I believe that adding gelatin to the vodka and juice mixture before freezing will make the alcohol freeze. It may take a little experimenting to get the amounts right. I haven't tried myself but now may be a good time for a project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
