Need to cool your drinks in a hurry? These two time-tested tricks will chill your beverages fast — without affecting their flavor.
Whether it’s a summer day, a spontaneous gathering, or a last-minute celebration, we’ve all faced the same dilemma: your drinks are warm, and the guests are arriving. Fortunately, you don’t need to wait hours for the refrigerator to do its job. Here are two quick and foolproof methods to chill drinks in just minutes.
Method 1: Ice, Water & Salt — The Fastest Chilling Combo
This method is incredibly effective and perfect for chilling wine bottles, beer, soda cans, or sparkling water.
What You Need:
-
A large container or bucket
-
Ice
-
Cold water
-
A handful of coarse salt
How It Works:
-
Fill the container with ice and cold water
-
Add a generous handful of coarse salt
-
Submerge the bottle or can fully in the mixture
-
Wait 5–10 minutes
Why It Works:
Salt lowers the freezing point of water, which causes the ice to melt faster — absorbing heat from the drink more quickly. This rapid transfer of cold makes it the fastest method available.
