Did you know that Americans own about 18 million boats today? While
most of these boats are used for commercial purposes, many of these boats are
used for recreational purposes and can be both a relaxing or exhilarating
activity for you to enjoy. From a nice gentle cruise on a yacht to a thrilling
ride on a speedboat, there are many ways to enjoy the luster of the sea, but an
essential part of your sailing experience should always include a few swings of
fiery alcohol from your trusty hip flask.
Hene, here are a few things to note regarding how to use your hip flask while
boating.
Alcohol
What spirit is the most appropriate for your trip to the ocean? The
popular alcohol of choice when boating is often rum, often associated with the
cool Caribbean breeze with its scenic beaches and crystal clear waters. Often
associated with pirates and adventure, rum truly encompasses the spirit of
boating, and there is truly nothing better to accompany the cool sea breeze
with! If you are looking for a spirit to remind you of beaches and summertime,
consider a dash of Malibu Rum. It pairs well with a number of mixers and can be
made into a wide variety of cocktails. If you are considering a taste of elegance,
consider a lovely swing of bourbon to pair with the lovely ocean breeze.
Traditionally, hip flasks should be enjoyed exclusively with hard liquor only,
so pair your favorite whiskey, bourbon, rum, gin, or brandy to truly enjoy the
full flavors of your spirit of choice. Pair a sip of your favorite spirit from
your hip flask with a cigar to truly enjoy your boating experience to the
fullest.
Cleaning
Keeping your hip flask clean should also be a good practice done
consistently and thoroughly, not only for hygienic purposes but to prevent
contamination in its taste. You should always clean your hip flask before use
to remove any leftover residue. Soap residue may affect the taste of alcohol,
so fill the flask with equal amounts of hot water, vinegar, and lemon juice
before fastening the lid and shaking it thoroughly. Leave the flask to soak for
about five minutes before rinsing and drying the flask properly.
Sizing
Hip flasks come in a variety of different sizes, so pick the flask
which best fits your respective needs. Bigger flasks are able to contain more
liquor, but smaller flasks are more portable and easier to hold on your person.
Picking a larger flask can be logical due to it being easily stored in your bag
on the boat, but smaller flasks can be easier to carry about on your person to
be enjoyed anywhere on the boat. Larger hip flasks can result in overdrinking
however, and the increased headspace can result in more stale air trapped
inside causing the alcohol to become stale, so pick the appropriate sizing for
your hip flask based on your needs and drinking habits.
