Salty Water Chills Your Drinks In No Time

If you want to chill your beverage quickly, here’s a great hack for you. Fill a cooler with water, ice cubes, and salt. Place your drinks inside, leaving a bit of space between each of them. Check back after five minutes for icy cold refreshments!

The way this works is that salt reduces the “freezing point depression”, or the minimum temperature at which any liquid freezes when mixed with water. While water typically freezes at 32°F, salt takes it further down by preventing the molecules from crystalizing easily.
