Frozen Hydration when winter riding

When it isn't appropriate to mix in 2 oz of Jack Daniels in your water bottle and you use Nunn hydration electrolyte (salt) tablets, how do you keep your source of hydration from freezing on a winter ride (commute)?

On cold days it is a bit of a bummer to have wait an hour or so for enough of my hydration to thaw in order to rehydrate once I get to work.

good tip. And I see Miss Anne also agrees. We are in good company!

Doesnt work for really long rides, because the bottles can freeze completely through...but for shorter rides / commutes I turn my bottles upsidedown so the ice forms at the bottom of the bottle rather than the top, leaving the drinking water available...old backpacking trick.
