method


I first saw this done in Sweden and I knew I'd have to try it out. It's easy. Cut the top off a 1 liter plastic bottle, pop a 700ml bottle of vodka, gin, tequila or whatever you fancy in there. Fill inside the plastic bottle with water then shove leaves, sprigs of herbs, holly branches and berries, and sliced fruits all around the side. Stand this carefully in the freezer and leave it for a few hours so everything freezes around the bottle. When you're ready to serve it, simply run the sleeve quickly under a tap then slide it off. You'll have a perfect ice wrap around the bottle to keep it cold for the night - and look gorgeous!

A bottle of wine probably would.<br /> <br /> Decent vodka doesn't freeze because of its high alcohol content. Wine has a much lower alcohol content.<br /> <br /> You could try making this but putting an empty wine bottle in the middle and forming your ice round it, then just before you want to go to table, swap it for your (pre-chilled) bottle of wine.

I did this yesterday to be ready for Christmas parties. I looks great, but I can't remember how to display the bottles (without them melting all oiver the table. Any ideas?

If you did this with a bottle of wine would it explode?
