Keeping gin / vodka in the freezer

[Pawnless Endgame]

I know that some people do this, and being a g&t person, I've used most brands of gin. My current bottle is a bottle of Gordon's as it was on offer last week. I looked in my freezer today, to find today that the gin has frozen! My freezer is always set at -20C and it's the first time that it has frozen on me. Any idea what has happened?

I'm not hugely fussed. It just means that I'll have to have a g&t an hour later when it has defrosted

Maybe just water in the bottle and no gin.
Some ****** has been drinking it and topping it up with water.

Set a lethal boobytrap on the drawer with the gin in. The law courts will understand, just say someone tried to screw with your G&T. Case dismissed.

40% vodka or gin would require a temperature of -26C to -27C to freeze, approximately, so either your freezer is super-cool or your spirits are super-diluted!

This. Someone else has been drinking it

Errr that explains why it was on offer.

Haha, nice answers, thanks guys No one else lives in my house but I get the odd mate coming around.

Gordon's is 37½%, which means having a freezing point that is closer to 0C than -26C. I'm guessing that the freezer hit the crucial figure and met the gin halfway between -20C and -26C. My freezer is due for its bi-annual defrost in a week's time anyway.
