If you've never carried a flask before, you might be wondering exactly how to care for this beautiful beverage container. How long is too long to leave liquor in it? What's the best way to clean it? Timeless questions all now with answers... DO rinse your flask with hot water before its maiden voyage, and allow it to air-dry thoroughly. Dust, storage funk, and all other cooties begone! DON'T use soap to clean it. DO use hot water to clean your flask between uses. DON'T keep alcohol in your flask for more than three days at a time. Yours should ideally be used for short-term rather than ongoing refreshment. Booze that sits in a flask too long can acquire a musty taste and scent, like corked wine, because of a variety of factors: the flask's seal, the quality of the interior stainless steel, bacteria, temperature changes, the tides, voodoo, etc. (PROTIP: A tablespoon each of white vinegar, water, and baking soda is an effective cleaning agent - other hardy agents are lemon juice + hot water or equal parts white vinegar + water. Whichever cleaning mixture you use, pour it in, cap tightly and shake it as though you're making 007 a martini. ) DO carry a classic, easy-to-mix liquor - whiskey, gin, and vodka are ideal, as they can all be sipped solo or as part of a bigger symphony. You'll never be without options. Your relationship with your flask, in the end, is like your relationship with any other beloved friend: always respect it, and it will respect you back for years to come. Happy flasking!
