No...alcohol will freeze, but your freezer at home does not get cold enough to freeze rum with its high percentage of alcohol.

For everyone that answered NO. I guess the completely frozen bottle of Vodka I just took from the freezer and is sitting on the table right next to my keyboard is an impossibility.
Booze can and does freeze. Not in a refrigerator freezer it doesn't get cold enough ... but in a dedicated freezer where the temperature gets below 0 degrees F -- liquor certainly can freeze.
The Vodka in mine sometimes is liquid, "slushy", or even completely frozen, based on where I put it and how often I open the door. But so what ... it melts quickly and doesn't hurt the taste.
Ah ... Good shot of Van Gogh Dutch Chocolate Vodka. It melted that quickly so I poured myself a shot.
Unlike pure water, or a beer that is mostly water, or a wine that has fragile flavor components, alcohol water "ice" from hard liquor expands far less if at all and thus will not blow the top or break the bottle if the contents do freeze.
It just hit me. Bottles don't freeze. The contents do ... lol. I supose there is a temperature that the amorphous fluid that is glass will become a solid (and probably shatter) but your freezer can't produce that temperature ... unless you work in a chemistry or physics lab and have access to liquid nitrogen.

Yes, part of it will freeze. If it is 40% alcohol, then the other ~60% is water. The water will freeze, but the alcohol will not.
It will turn into a rum slushee, the alcohol being the liquid, and the water being the ice.
It does take a while for the molecules to freeze, though. It may take up to a week for the majority of the water to freeze.
You need to be careful when mixing with this, as the alcohol will come out of the bottle, but the ice will remain. But...if you wanted a stronger rum, then this could be useful.

Nope, alcohol would not freeze at generic freezer temperature... although, if somebody has been eating your alcohol (have any teenage boys interior the dwelling house?) and refilling with water- you will get slush... particularly solid detective trick in case you have confidence you're getting schmoozeled...Ha!

No, alcohol has a lower freezing point than water, it will just be really really cold. If you get it cold enough it will become thicker than before, thats when you know its going to be good
