ice-cold
Chilled to freezing
Ice-cold describes something at the temperature of ice, or close to it.
An ice-cold beer or ice-cold water has been thoroughly chilled.
The term extends to describe emotional coldness or detachment: an ice-cold stare conveys hostility or complete indifference.
In sports and high-pressure situations, ice-cold characterizes someone who remains perfectly calm and performs without nerves: She was ice-cold from the free-throw line in the final minutes.
