Chill Beverages Quickly

For May, I’m giving you one warm-weather entertaining tip every day.

It might be a drink recipe, may be a way not to burn the backs of your thighs on a lawn chair, maybe even a reprint of some old summertime recipes.

Today, I’d like to start with the tip from the Mythbusters, from their “How to Chill Beverages the Fastest” segment.

The way we do it for bocce, is to fill the bottom of the cooler 1/3 full with water, add approximately one cup of rock salt or table salt and stir.

Fill the rest of the cooler with ice and stir some more before plunging your otherwise tepid beverages into the mix.

The salted water keeps the drinks colder than they would be otherwise.
The salty water keeps ‘em real cold.
And James likes ‘em real cold.
