Yeah, you read right! You probably might have been there, inviting a few friends over or
perhaps, you're expecting a full house ― and then realize that you
haven't chilled your drinks just when your guests have arrived.
So, how do you
chill your drinks in time for you to be able to chill out with your
friends without feeling like a bad host?
Well, read on to find out:
1. Fill a thick glass bowl with water and ice:
The
thicker and more insulated the bowl, the better. It should be able to
trap the cold water and ice mixture. Add as much ice to the water as you
can, but not so much that it prevents the entire beverage container
from being submerged into the water. A 50/50 mix of ice and water is a
good rule of thumb. If you just need to chill one or a few drinks, this
is fine. If you have to chill many drinks, you’re better off using a
cooler or even your bathtub.
2. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
A small handful
should do. The salt will disassociate into its constituent sodium and
chloride ions. The water molecules, being polar, will orient themselves
accordingly. This is work, and work requires energy which comes from
thermal energy in the water, thus reducing the ambient temperature
further.
3. Put your drinks in the ice water solution and rapidly stir them.
Stirring the drinks will help the heat transfer out of your drink and into the ice solution more quickly.
4. Wait two minutes.
The temperature should have fallen
dramatically in a very short time. If it needs more time chilling, stir
the remaining drinks in the salted ice water for another minute or two.
5. Pour your cold drink into a glass.
It should now be
about the perfect temperature to quench your thirst — and the thirst of
your guests. Just be careful: if you put in a carbonated drink like a
soda, give it some time to settle before you pour it.
