It provides the foundation for the water to freeze on, kinda like how dirt particles in the air provide a surface for clouds to condensate into rain. The overall phenomena is called super cooling. You take a liquid and bring its freezing point, but assure it doesn't freeze entirely. As soon as you introduce something for the water to freeze on then bam then you've got an extra cold beverage.
