Alcohol will not freeze in many household freezers, simply because they do not get cold enough.

The freezing point of water is 0°C (32°F). Most household freezers hold their temperature around -15°C (5°F). This allows water to freeze as soon as it cools enough to the temperature.

The freezing point of alcohol (ethanol) varies by the type of alcohol. Almost all household alcohols that people drink are mixtures of water and ethanol. The % alcohol makes a big difference in freezing, because when by itself, the freezing point is very low (about -114°C). Household liquors typically vary from 20-40% ethanol by volume (40-80 proof).

A 40% alcohol liquor, such as vodka, will freeze around -26.95 °C, which is why it will not get cold enough to freeze. Other liquors, if they contain less alcohol, may freeze.
