The alcohol in the drink should prevent it from freezing up to a
point. I've never done any experiments involving temperatures affecting
the taste, but I can theorize the colder temperatures will prevent some
undesirable traits from developing as well as retard some desirable ones.

I'm not aware of anyone who has routinely stored their yeast in
the freezer but I would imagine as long as the yeast remains loose (not a
hard clump) it should be fine.
