ELI5: Why does vodka get syrupy in the freezer while water stays the same viscosity until it freezes?

Water is homogeneous. It is entirely made up of H2O molecules. Vodka on the other hand has many different ingredients, water, ethanol and whatever else there is depending on the brand or distillation process. This means different molecules will behave differently and change the viscosity.
