Hard liquors such as whiskey, rum, gin, and vodka are the usual fare for carrying in a flask, but you don’t have to drink alcohol to use a fancy flask. Try your other favorite beverages for a fresh way to enjoy hip flasks:
- Water: Some insulated flasks keep your water cool for workouts or hot for walks in the cold.
- Hot chocolate: Fill your flask with a warm hug from a hot chocolate kit for a wintry walk.
- Tea: Brew some hot or iced tea at home and carry it around in a breast pocket.
- Cider or juice: Grab your favorite, fruity drink and fill ‘er up.
- Virgin toddy: Steep some lemon slices, cinnamon, honey, and cloves in hot water for an aromatic treat on the go.
Make sure that your new flask can handle hot drinks and that you can wash it well after trying out these adventurous options. Make sure you grab a funnel, if your flask didn’t come with one. That makes it easier to fill the small mouth that most flasks have.
