How to Make Epic Backcountry Cocktails (And Ditch Cheap Canned Beer Forever)

Your guide to crafting the perfect portable batch cocktails. Learn why the Firelight Flask® 750 is the ultimate tool for elevating your adventure aprés.

You've just completed the most incredible hike of your life. Your muscles are wrung out, your heart is full, and you're watching the last rays of sunlight paint the distant peaks pink.

And then your friend hands you a lukewarm can of whatever beer was cheapest at the gas station.

You need an intervention for this adventure drinking problem. Because “roughing it” does not mean celebrating with drinks that taste like regret. If you’re scaling mountains, discovering hidden waterfalls, and creating memories that'll last a lifetime, you need to cheers with something as amazing as the views. That’s where we come in.

  • Temperature Perfection: The flask and tumblers are double-wall vacuum insulated, keeping your batch cocktails perfectly chilled for up to 24 hours. No cooler or ice necessary.

Creamy Cherry Limeade Margarita (Serves 2)

This recipe is perfectly portioned for two people to share using the Firelight Flask® 750 and its two integrated tumblers.

What You'll Need:

  • 12 oz cherry juice
  • 4 oz tequila
  • 2 oz fresh lime juice
  • 2 oz coconut milk
  • 1 tsp maple syrup (or to taste)
  • 1/2 cup frozen cherries (for garnish and to keep the tumblers chilled!)

The Firelight Method:

  1. Pre-adventure prep:Mix tequila, lime juice, cherry juice, and maple syrup in a pitcher before you head out. Chill in the fridge.
  2. On the way out the door: Pull your cocktail from the fridge and pour it in the Firelight Flask. Then add frozen cherries to the flask filling the remaining space in the flask. Thanks to the vacuum-insulation of the Firelight Flask®, the cold drink and frozen cherries will stay chilled for hours.
  3. Pack for the day: The Firelight Flask® fits effortlessly in any pack or tote. You can bring it with you on your adventure, or leave it at the car for the end of the day.
  4. After your adventure: Give the flask a quick swirl to mix (no need to fully shake), pop off the magnetic tumblers, pour, and cheers to the adventure, to the view, to the fact that you're drinking a legitimate cocktail while surrounded by nature.
