Abstract

A refrigerator for supercooling beverage into supercooled liquid and a method of producing the supercooled liquid using the same. The refrigerator includes a mixing room (40) provided in a main body (10) to mix chilled air from a freezer compartment (22) and a refrigerator compartment (21) with each other and having a first suction port (41) for suctioning the freezer compartment chilled air and a second suction port (42) for suction the refrigerator compartment chilled air, and a supercooling compartment (30) provided in the main body (10) to be directly or indirectly refrigerated by the chilled air mixed in the mixing room (40). The mixing room (40) and the supercooling compartment (30) may be provided either in the refrigerator compartment (21) or in the freezer compartment (22), or in an independent refrigerator compartment to form an independent refrigerating room separated from the freezer compartment (22).
