Freezing a water bottle when you hit it is a fun party trick that will leave your friends amazed. It is also an easy and affordable way to make a refreshing cold drink. With just a few simple steps, you can turn a boring bottle of water into a frozen delight. Read on to find out how to freeze a water bottle when you hit it.
What You Need
To freeze a water bottle when you hit it, you will need a few items. You will need a water bottle with a lid, such as a Gatorade or soda bottle. You will also need a freezer-safe container or bag. You will also need something to hit the bottle with, such as a spoon or a mallet.
Instructions
The first step is to fill the water bottle about two-thirds of the way full with cold water. Make sure to leave enough room for expansion when it freezes. Then secure the lid tightly onto the bottle. Place the bottle in the freezer-safe container or bag and place it in the freezer. Leave the bottle in the freezer for at least four hours, or until it has frozen solid.
Once the bottle has frozen solid, it’s time to hit it. Take the bottle out of the freezer and make sure the lid is still secure. Then hit the bottle with a spoon or a mallet. The impact will cause the water to freeze instantly. You will see the bottle become covered in frost.
Once the bottle has frozen solid, you can enjoy your drink. The frozen water will act like ice cubes, cooling your drink but not diluting it like regular ice cubes.
Tips and Tricks
There are a few tips and tricks you can use to get the best results when freezing a water bottle when you hit it. First, make sure the water bottle is completely sealed before you place it in the freezer. This will help ensure that the water does not freeze too quickly and that all of the water will freeze at once.
Next, make sure to hit the bottle hard enough to cause the water to freeze instantly. If you don’t hit the bottle hard enough, the water may not freeze completely. Finally, make sure to use a freezer-safe container or bag when freezing the bottle. This will help ensure that the bottle doesn’t break when you hit it.
