I want to know how much alcohol has to be in a drink for it not to freeze, I know that spirits does not freeze but then beer does freeze, so what is the minimum percentage limit for a an alcoholic drink not to freeze?

The more alcohol, the lower the temperature has to be to freeze it completely. It's roughly linear between 32f for pure water and -117f for pure ethanol.
However, that would be too easy. When mixed together, the time it takes to freeze and to thaw will actually separate the water components from the lower freezing point liquids (mostly alcohol) from the mixture. The water will freeze first and thaw last. Due to this, hard apple cider has historically been freeze distilled or "jacked" by this method to produce "Apple Jack" which can be up to around 30% alcohol after a couple freeze/thaw separations.

you are able to blend the alcohol and the blend mutually positioned it in a blender with ice. Make it a slushie then pour it into ice dice trays and verify out freezing it that way. it would want to no longer freeze into thoroughly solid ice cubes yet once you're making a alcoholic drink of a diverse coloration then positioned the semi solid alcohol cubes into the drink this is going to seem cool or perhaps seem cool is it breaks up into slushie chunks. try pink for the cubes and positioned it in Blue Hawiaans in the top at the same time as the cubes are melted the drink will be pink. have relaxing!!! And Be secure!!! DONT DRINK ANDchronic!!!!!!!!!!!

Depends on the alcohol content. The non-alcohol part freezes first and the alcohol part at minus 117 degrees F.

Pure alcohol freezes at -117 degrees F.
The higher the proof, the closer to that temperature.

regular strength spirits, for instance 80 proof vodka, will freeze at about -10F. Anything can freeze, even pure alcohol if it cold enough.
