Gifts for Drinkers On the Go

A sure sign that we’re living in the Golden Age of Mankind is that it’s never been easier to take your booze on the go. Thanks to innovation, superior technology and materials like leather, drinkers are no longer strapped to the bar. From hand-made flasks to full bar kits that fit inside your pocket, we found a handful of gift ideas for drinkers on the go.

1 of 9 Vintage suitcases get new life when they're refurbished into clandestine bars. You can find instructions for building your own if you have an old suitcase lying around, or you can get this one that's all set to go, with room for two bottles of booze, all the tools you need and a couple of glasses. $169 on amazon.com

2 of 9 Stanley has a whole line of gear designed for people who want to take booze into the backcountry, but their Adventure Happy Hour System, with a stackable shaker, strainer, citrus juicer and cups, takes it to the next level. $50 at stanley-pmi.com

3 of 9 There are growlers galore, but this stainless steel number from GrowlerWerks is pressurized with CO2 and has its own tap, turning the growler into a mini-keg. We like it so much, we even gave some away earlier in the year. $139 at growlerwerks.com

4 of 9 Most flasks will hold a few ounces of booze, but this curved titanium flask from Snow Peak does it with style. $150 on snowpeak.com

5 of 9 We've written about these handy Carry On Cocktail Kits before, which give you enough ingredients and instructions to make two cocktails on the go. Their Travel Pack has three cocktail kits stuffed inside a handmade canvas bag. $90 on wandpdesign.com

6 of 9 Then you have this beauty, which is essentially a full bar packed into the size of a dopp kit. Fill the tiny bottles with the booze of your choice and throw it in your pack. $275 on Uncrate.com

7 of 9 Remember when people used to just drink a beer or cocktail and enjoy it? Now, cocktails and beer is so good, we all feel compelled to write down our tasting notes and thoughts about the drink. Sigh. The Field Notes Drink Local Notebooks were designed with beer drinkers in mind. They even come with a coaster. $10 on Uncrate.com

8 of 9 The Bar Back is strictly for professional bartenders. Or at least, professional drinkers. It's a full bar tucked into a handy backpack. There is space for bottles, shakers, a whole pocketed sleeve for tools, and enough auxiliary space for your cell and wallet. $199 on Kickstarter.

9 of 9 Fyxation makes a variety of leather products designed to carry booze on your bicycle, from a six pack caddy to a growler caddy. But we like this wine carrier, which straps to your center bar for hands free pedaling. $45 on Fyxation.com
