    I did this over Christmas too. Just let it defrost in some water and it will be fine to drink, well I drank mine anyway!

    If you have an ice-cream maker which stirs it constantly you can actually do this!

    A cracked glass bottle would not put me off.

    Defrost and pour into a jug. Let it settle for a minute and then decant all but the dregs through a fine sieve. A tea strainer or piece of muslin would be ideal.

    Any glass fragments would remain in the jug or be trapped in the sieve. Even if you accidentally swallow a small glass fragment, it is unlikely to do you any harm. It should just pass naturally through the body. Think of all the tiny sharp pieces of bone etc that we swallow throughout our lives.

    Maybe a medical expert will tell me I am wrong.:eek:

    I think I read in an old Eve issue to make alcoholic icecubes for your drink so that the taste wouldnt dilute... so it should be ok
