Simple one really - Whats your favourite tipple to go in a hipflask ?
Could be on its own or a mixture ?
Quite partial to whisky and ginger wine and Hoodie Snr likes dark run with a splash of lime cordial (try it - you may be suprised)
Any special concoctions out there ?
Sloe gin is my tipple of choice.
Cheers, Rich
1 part port to 1 part brandy
whiskey mack with stones, none of that crabbies rubbish.
Sloe gin is my tipple of choice.homemade?
Port for me.
Scotch & Cloves..
Which reminds me, Xmas is coming, must get some more alcoholic cloves in.
+1 Sloe Gin or Port. Do the manufacturers recommend to not use mixers such as fruit juices?
Bramble Whisky.
When beating it was, Whisky & Galliano mix.
or
currently its Morgans Spiced Rum.
A good 'outdoor' scotch and a dash of water for me.
Seems wrong to put scotch with anything but some water, but I may try out some ideas from this thread.. ) Scotch and cloves sounds good.
A good one for mixing is the Bailie Nichol Jarvie, not pricey £19 and very nice for a blended scotch, better than many single malts I think.
Whyte & MacKay Special Blend.
It's virtually indistinguishable from Ardbeg* whilst costing half the price.
*to an untrained Yorkshireman
+1 Sloe Gin.
De rigeur of a winter Wednesday night ride with our lot.
A neighbour gave us a little glass of some infused with Vanilla which was sublime so I'll be trying that for the next batch.
I'd say Bourbon, but I have a drink problem and am trying to stop.
I can and have, many, many times.. ridden offroad, quite aggresively, and over-confidently after 20cl....
Edited to add: in one gulp, unscrew, glug, gone.
Bushmill's
Genepi, herby Alpine liqeur. Mmmm...
This week's (ahem) Observer Food Monthly has a rather nice sounding recipe for a hunting flask. I'll post it up later if I remember, but TBH there are probably a thousand recipes on google.
EDIT: Observer recipe here.
brandy, your body heat warms it slightly, as it should be drunk...
This time of year, sloe gin. Home made. Tres festive...
Bokmal's Oude Jenever
Tazzy's absinthe!
Huge fan of scotch but for a hip flask it has to be
Orange and clove vodka
Port & Brandy. Made a batch of sloe gin this year so may give that a spin also.
I just put Calvados in mine. It goes well with the date & coconut flapjacks I make for those long dark cold winter rides. I expect to be sampling some on Friday evening at Innerleithen.
Poteen and brandy balls - thats a winter warmer!
Reckon my homemade bramble, cinnamon and clove vodka could work.
Slivovice
I got passed a flask out hunting in Canada once and it turned out to be brandy and benedictine.
On top of the night before's whiskey I spewed there and then.
Ah the folly of youth.
southern comfort.
80's tastic
Always a single malt, neat. Nothing else will do.

isopropanol
honestly, i would.....
As nice as a lot of these concoctions are, like Sloe Gin or Brandy and Port, they are all diluted spirits; on a bitterly cold night what you need is some nice cask strength malt, neat.
