Rum Flask for Your or a Gift

A rum flask is a great thing to have as part of your own personal collection, or to give to someone as a gift. You can find some that are more lighthearted and whimsical or regal and command respect. The most common style, right now at least, are the more casual, non-metallic, collapsible ones.  Anyone who has ever had or used this type of hip flask knows, nothing can add a bit of warmth to a chilly fall evening, like a swig off a pocket flask filled with rum. If you want to go shopping for one, keep a few things in mind and you will be sure to make the right decision.

What Are Rum Flasks For?

While everyone has probably seen a movie or two where someone has snuck in a drink to a movie theater or for a car ride, there are legitimate reasons for one. Around fall, a hip flask is a popular choice for tailgate parties. Other reasons someone may have a flask like this is for golfing, to be taken into concerts, hikers, skiers or for traveling on cruise ships or planes.

This style of flask is a reusable storage unit for, obviously, rum or other types of alcohol. They are generally undetectable. They can be found in different sizes but, obviously, get more difficult to keep discreet as they get larger. If you are looking for one, you should try to find one, or a set, that is leak proof. This style of flask is generally non-metallic, so as not to taint the flavor or richness of the rum. 

Shopping Around

You can decide if you are looking to buy a single flask for rum or if you would like a kit. Kits, generally, include both an 8 oz and a 16 oz reusable set of flasks. Look for those which hare easy to fill and easy to clean. A flask like this is, also, collapsible. That way, you can store them easily. Not to mention, as you drink from the flask, it shrinks. This feature helps keep it smaller for carrying which is what helps keep it undetectable.

The idea behind how they work is that they lay flat, folded up or rolled up when not in use. To use, simply fill it to the brim, where it will be in a full upright position. You can also use them for other beverages, as long as they are not carbonated. Once filled, they can also be frozen, which will help keep your beverage chilled throughout the day. Simply fit one in your pocket, purse or backpack and enjoy your favorite beverage. You can find a rum flask in various different places, while shopping.
