Alcohol has a lower boiling point than water therefore it will evaporate at a lower temperature than water. The alcohol that evaporates will give off cool vapors that when blown around the water will cause the temperature of the water to decrease and eventually freeze.

How can water be used as a refrigerant?

If ,for example, you wish to cool a bottle of milk place it in a dish of water and put an upturned porous clay pot over the bottle. The clay sucks up the water in the dish by capillary action and as the water evaporates it cools the inside of the pot by a process known as the 'latent heat of evaporation'. You cannot get the milk to freeze but you can lower it's temperature.
