If
you have just purchased a hip flask or are thinking of getting one, you may be
wondering what types of alcohol you can put in it. While you can go ahead and
simply put water in your flask, the main purpose of a hip flask is to contain
spirits. The flask doesn't do
well with beverages like beer or wine, nor with cocktails, cream liqueurs, or
citrus-based drinks. There are also
specific types of liquids never to put in a hip flask, both for safety reasons
and to prolong the flask’s lifespan. In this article, we share with you more
about storing alcohol in hip flasks.
What Not to Put in Hip Flasks
While
the best thing to put in a hip flask is any kind of spirit, below are some
types of liquids never to put in a hip flask:
- Hot
drinks of any kind – the heat can burn your hand when you hold the hip
flask
- Acidic
liquids can damage your flask, so they are a major no-no
- Hip
flasks aren’t designed to hold fizzy alcohol or soft drinks as they cannot
handle high pressure
Hip
flasks are perfect for bringing around and sharing a drink with friends, so you
will want to make sure you fill it with the right spirit.
Which Spirit Will Work Best?
If
you have a favorite spirit, regardless of whether it’s a 40-year aged whiskey
or supermarket brand vodka, you can never go wrong with it. That is if you are
intending to have a drink by yourself. After all, the flask is there for your
enjoyment and all that matters is that you love the drink! Remember, there’s no
right or wrong answer as long as you avoid the types of liquids mentioned
above.
Sharing with Friends
If
you are intending to share your drink with friends, a little more consideration
needs to go into your choice of spirit. You will likely want to go for
something more expensive. You also have to keep in mind the “smoothness” of the
drink. As you are unlikely to have mixers on hand when drinking from a hip
flask, you will need to make sure the drink can go down easily enough. You
don’t want your friends coughing their guts up from rough liquor!
