The Best Flasks For Taking Your Liquor On The Go In 2023

Conventional flasks for alcohol have been used by people who want to discreetly bring their booze on the go since the 18th century (via Slightly Alabama). Whether tucked into your waistline or beneath a bootstrap, a flask makes it easy to keep your favorite spirit at the ready for whenever you need to wet your whistle. In the decades since its inception, the humble hip flask has undergone many transformations. These days, it's even easy to find flasks that look like unassuming household objects. And if you're feeling extra fancy, there are a few upscale versions of the humble original to really impress onlookers. 

A simple glance at all of the drinking vessels available for purchase makes it clear that no two flasks are created equal. Some are ideal for people who like to drink alcohol straight, or perhaps want to pair their beverage of choice with a cigar. Other flasks are better for rugged campers who need a container to transport liquor that's as tough as they are. Regardless of your lifestyle, there is likely a flask that will fit it. 

We rounded up a few of the best flasks for sale in 2022 to take your liquor on the go. The options range in price, materials, and design, but all make great gifts for the alcohol drinkers in your life – even yourself. 

With so many flasks on the market, it's tough to narrow it down from the crowd available for purchase. Thankfully, we have the internet to help in this mighty task. We took into consideration plenty of reviews from customers, as well as social media chatter when it came to picking the best flasks money can buy. Those user reviews tend to live on a brand's website or a massive online retailer like Amazon, making it easy to see which purchases met and exceeded expectations. 

We also narrowed our selected flasks down to specific categories based on a variety of factors, with a special eye on a diversity of materials and a range of prices for all budgets. With the wide range of flasks that we selected, there's bound to be one that is perfect for everyone regardless of a particular environment or someone's liquor of choice.

When selecting the best flask overall, we wanted to pick a product that was averagely priced while also exceeding its value. That was the Vargo Titanium Funnel flask. It's an 8-ounce flask with a silicone funnel on top to make it easy to fill, while the funnel also folds down to make it easier to sip. The funnel even makes it easier to empty your flask back into the original booze bottle if you don't finish it all while drinking on the go. Most flasks tend to include a funnel separately that is often easy to lose, but not Vargo Outdoor's titanium model. 

Vargo's flask is clean, classic, and holds just the right amount of alcohol. it's also easy to use, unlike some other, more complicated flasks. "I cannot imagine a more well thought out flask design," one Amazon review reads. "The air-light titanium will not taint, the form factor is just eye-pleasing, the craftsmanship exceptional, and the built-in funnel has addressed the centuries-old major flask defect of filling the things."

Amazon sells the Vargo Titanium Funnel Flask for $74.95 as of December 2022.
