DJ Charlie Sloth perfectly chilled his vodka drink by blasting a bottle into space - though he had to hunt around a field to find where it crash landed before he could drink it. The former Radio One DJ strapped the flavoured Au Vodka bottle to a giant helium balloon with a GPS tracker before releasing it into the sky from a field in Sheffield.

Footage of the stunt shows the bottle gliding '21 miles' through the clouds. The DJ can be seen getting into a car and tracking the golden bottle before its balloon pops in the planet's stratosphere.

When it falls to Earth the GPS tracker breaks and the bottle becomes separated from the device, so Charlie is forced to search through a field in the East Riding of Yorkshire for around an hour before finding it. The excited DJ says 'it's so cold, oh my' before twisting open the cap, mixing it with lemonade and declaring it tastes 'out of this world'.

Charlie says he 'thought he was going crazy' while looking for the bottle but claims it was all worth it when he got to taste vodka that had been to space. The video has been liked more than 7,000 times with social media users claiming the alcohol 'really is cosmic now'.

Charlie said: "As things go, it's quite a long-winded way of ensuring your drink is perfectly chilled so it's not something I'm going to make a habit of.

"We just wanted to see if it would taste any different when it came down to Earth, but when we launched it we were worried we'd never see the bottle again. It was really exciting to follow it with the GPS and when it popped we had to move quickly to make sure we could get to the landing site.

"After all that work, we couldn't believe it when the GPS signal died and the bottle itself detached from the rest of the device but luckily we knew what field it was in.

"We spent about an hour walking around looking out for the bottle's golden glow in the long grass and thought we were going to go crazy. Luckily we spotted it and when I touched it I couldn't believe how cold it was.

"I didn't notice any difference when I tried it but maybe that's because it truly does have a cosmic taste."
