I put whisky in two ice cubes slots last night, for reasons I won't go into, and this morning the had not frozen. Given that they are mainly made of water, what is the problem here?

If alchohol could freeze, think of the possiblilties.Magnum with Vodka, you know summit for the kids.

It will but at a much lower freezing point than water: -117C so you wont do it in your freezer!

the freezing point of alcohol is much lower that water I think it is about minus 20-30 obviously the more alcohol % in the drink the colder it must be to freeze. beer freezes before whisky or vodka.

It has a high freezing point than normal water. Water freezes at 0 degeres celcius, whisky is probably around -20....check google.

I don't know that whisky is made mostly of water. Typcially, it is 80 proof (40% Alc. by Volume) Alcohol's freezing point is -117C (compared to water's 0C). If you can find a comsumer freezer that gets that cold - I'll take one too!

Alcohol freezes at -117 ° c you will need a freezer on steroids to get that low

No alcohol will freeze. Sometimes you'll see things like, malt drinks, say a Mike's Hard Lemonade, freeze because it has a much lower alcohol content. That's just a property of alcohol, I guess.

I believe it is the alcohol that stops it. Try making a jelly it sets in that. As does Vodka.

Whiskey freezes at a much lower temperature (-114 Celsius).

The alcohol content is too high! Don't try this with beer or wine, their content is too low and will make a mess...
