We use glass flask bottles to infuse liquors and to store and make homemade salad dressing. Since both of those tasks involve shaking the flasks to mix ingredients, we recommend a bottle with a top that stays sealed and sturdy glass.
Be sure to check out our bartender kits to complete your home bar set up. And if you’re thinking about making infusions as a gift for someone, take a look at our gift guide for cocktail lovers, too.
What to Look For in Glass Flasks
If you’re going to be doing infusing, you may think any of them will do. There are just a few things to look for:
- Does it seal well enough that you could shake it without it leaking or coming open? Most of our infusions call for shaking, and salad dressings need it frequently. The best seal gives you the best infusion and storage time.
- What’s the right size for your project?
- How easy are they to clean?
After that, the only real consideration is style. Pick what you like the look of, as long as it’s quality.
