I have something that has an alcohol content of 21%.
Will it freeze if I put it into an ice cube tray, or am I just wasting my time, and my precious drinkies?

Heres what will happen if you put it in ice cube trays. The water will separate out by freezing and floating to the top as ice while the alcohol will lie underneath. My parents and now myself have used this to make fruit liquors for years and years. By making fruit wine (say with raspberrys), putting it in a tray in the freezer and scraping the ice (IE water) off every couple of hours you proportionally increase the alcohol content. You do not create extra alcohol.
So.....the 2 thingsa you get from putting spirits in the freezer.....cold booze and less of it but stronger if you choose.

Yeah, you're wasting your drinkies.. Alcohol that strong will freeze at a much lower temperature than your freezer is. Actually I keep my liquor in the freezer to keep it nice and chilled.

Well my aftershock did not make cubes and I had to get rid of the ice cube tray but that is 40% ABV, however, I feel the water will seperate

you may blend the alcohol and the blend mutually positioned it in a blender with ice. Make it a slushie then pour it into ice cube trays and attempt freezing it that way. that is going to possibly no longer freeze into thoroughly good ice cubes yet once you're making a alcoholic drink of a distinctive colour then positioned the semi good alcohol cubes into the drink that is going to look cool or perhaps seem cool is it breaks up into slushie chunks. attempt crimson for the cubes and positioned it in Blue Hawiaans interior the tip whilst the cubes are melted the drink would be pink. have exciting!!! And Be risk-free!!! DONT DRINK AND force!!!!!!!!!!!

alchol will freeze if your freezer will go as low as -35, i doubt that. you will prob end up with an ice cube tray full of pure alcohol. dont drink too much of that.

Alcohol freezes at a lower temp than water, freeze your drinks you freeze the water. You are left with pure alcohol basically! hehe

21% is too strong too freeze. Beer and some weak wine wine will but 21% honestly won't. Keep it Xtra cold in there if ya like. Make jellies etc. xxxxxxxx

You cant freeze alcohol mate (I keep my gin in the freezer to keep it cold) If you could I would be sucking gin ice cubes all day!

I would say that you are wasting your time as ethanol freezes at -114 degrees celcius, or -173 fahrenheit.
