Alcoholic Popsicles

This is a new one on me:

Click for FrostShot Story

He got the idea for FrostShot in June 2005, when he saw somebody use a popsicle as a mixer in an alcoholic drink. He met with two freelance engineers, who discovered how to modify and freeze the molecules. They also had to raise the percentage of alcohol so it could compete with other beverages, like beer, sold in bars.

By last August, Echeverri had received approvals from all the countries he's now working with.

Since then, he's been modifying the packaging, focusing on brand recognition, targeting more countries for distribution and trying to design a tube-shaped display freezer for the FrostShots.

Dale DeGroff, a consultant for the food and beverage industries, said the idea of frozen alcohol isn't new; he saw frozen alcoholic ice cream at a Madrid food festival about three years ago.

I thought that alcohol would not freeze. That at best you can get a "slushy" type of consistency, or possibly the water in the mixture would seperate out and freeze seperately.

In Chicago De La Costa has martini type drinks with flavor matched popsicles for the
