My grandmas pie crust trick finally worked after 6 tries

My grandma always said to use ice cold vodka instead of water in pie crust, and I thought she was crazy for like 5 years. Last Tuesday I tried it with a bottle of cheap Smirnoff and the crust came out flaky and tender for the first time ever, no shrinking at all. Has anyone else had a family tip that sounded dumb but turned out to be the secret?

Try it next time with cheap whiskey instead. Heard the same tip from my uncle and it worked even better. Grandma knew what she was talking about for sure.
