## 🌀 3. Spin It in an Ice Bath

For an even quicker chill, try **spinning** the drink gently in the salt + ice water bath.

### Method:

* Place the drink in the ice bath (from tip #1).
* Spin or swirl it gently by hand or using a spoon.
* Keep it moving for 2–3 minutes.

Spinning increases the contact between the cold water and the warm drink surface, speeding up cooling.

> 🎉 Bonus: It feels oddly satisfying and works great for cans.

Designate a section of your freezer for emergency drinks. Keep a few cans or small bottles of your go-to beverage already chilled, just in case guests arrive unexpectedly.

> 🚨 Pro tip: Rotate them every few weeks to avoid forgetting and over-freezing.
