All liquids will freeze if you get them cold enough,
If you have a mixture of liquids, then when they are cooled, then the liquid in the mixture with the highest freezing point will prefferentially freeze first. In the case of commercial alcohol, Whiskey or Vodka say, then the mixture is Ethanol (Alcohol) and water which freeze at -114°C and 0°C respectively. This doesnt mean that all the water will freeze first, but that initially the frozen material will have a higher content of water, and the remaining liquid a corresponding higher content of alcohol.
Most commercially available spirits (Approx 40% alcohol) will freeze completely at around -28°c.
Most domestic freezers are around - 18°c, so not quite cold enough.
Experiment by adding different amounts of water to the alcohol, and seeing which mix will freeze in your freezer.
Hope this helps

Most will not, but ones with lower alcohol content are more likely to. Your best bet is to choose whatever sounds good to you, then mix 2 parts water and 1 part alcohol. Hope that helps!

If you put dry ice in beer, the beer will foam out.
That's because of the alcohol.
Probably the best you could do is to make a slushy using whatever you want.
Maybe a decent liquer will mix with shaved ice better.

It's said that alcohol doesn't freeze. However, it can freeze, but only at extremely low temperatures. Your freezer at home most likely has temperatures around -10 degrees Celsius. All these temperatures are too warm for pure alcohol to freeze. That's why you can alcohol in your freezer and it won't freeze. I'm not sure what you should mix, because I do not drink. But I heard vodka and cranberry is good.

Pure alcohol I don't think freezes.

Any alcohol. Just dilute it. Drinking is all about experimentation Dude!

why don't you make alcohol jelly cups get plastic shot glasses and mix vodka with your jelly they are heaps good . Or experiment with another alcohol it's up to you.

none...at season able temperatues unless diluted but that is not your question
