Here you can find out what different methods there are for cooling drinks and what you can do if it has to be particularly fast.
The warmer season has finally arrived, the days are getting longer and more pleasant.
You spend more time on the balcony or in the garden again.
What shouldn't be missing in good weather outside: a delicious
cold drink
.
Beer, lemonade, wine * or simply water: what you want to drink is up to you - we will tell you how you can get the drink of choice cool.
There are various
methods and tricks
to do
this
- depending on how urgent you are.
Chill drinks in the refrigerator
The classic for
cooling drinks
(and food) is of course the refrigerator.
It is not for nothing that many people store their drinks in them.
If you put in several
bottles or cans
to cool down, you should leave a few centimeters between them so that they can give off their heat to the colder air in the refrigerator over as large an area as possible.
In addition, if you have the choice, place the drinks on a wire shelf rather than on a glass surface.

Cool drinks in the freezer: Many people do one thing wrong
Cooling in the freezer or freezer is even faster than in the refrigerator.
Do you know the trick of
wrapping
a can or bottle in a
damp cloth
before putting it in?
You can stop doing this from now on, because the cloth does not accelerate the cooling at all.
On the contrary: the cooling compartment consumes a little more energy to extract additional heat from the kitchen towel.
The damp cloth also causes ice to form, which makes your
freezer compartment
ice up
faster.
The classic: cool drinks for a party in the bathtub
The well-known method of
storing
beer and the like at a party in the
bathtub with cold water
is definitely justified.
The drinks get cold faster here than in the refrigerator, because the bottles
can
release
their heat
twenty times faster to water
than to air.
Tip: If you cool a lot of bottles in the bathtub, the tap water should be renewed at regular intervals so that it stays really cold.
Otherwise, you can also add ice cubes to the bathtub.

Drinks cool in record time - a trick when things need to be done quickly
If you want to cool down a single bottle of beer or wine quickly - for example because you forgot it before and especially in summer nobody really likes to drink warm beer or warm wine - you can use this trick:
Put water and ice in a bucket or bottle cooler.
Now comes the trick: add salt - ideally 1 kg of salt to 2 liters of ice water.
The
salt lowers the freezing point
so that the cooling water is brought to well below 0 ° C: Your drink should be pleasantly cool after 2-3 minutes.
Because of the very high salt consumption for this trick, you should
see
it as a
stopgap
and not a regular method of cooling drinks.
