It’s a flask. It’s a mitten. It’s a mitten flask!

Depending on where you live, sometimes it’s just too cold outside for you to be able to force your frozen fingers to unscrew the cap off a liquor bottle. When a blizzard interferes with your drinking outdoors, the creative folks at Perpetual Kid have an answer.

Introducing the mitten flask. And a hat tip to the Huffington Post for finding this winter essential.

The mitten flask is actually a set of two red mittens. One of the mittens features a zippered pocket for a flask. And so you don’t have to remove your other mitten to enjoy your beverage of choice, the pocket comes with a spill-proof bite valve. Just lift your mitten and sip.

Here in L.A., we don’t see blizzard-like conditions, ever, but we do get a little chilly on the bleachers watching college football games. With the mitten flask you can warm up with a little booze. And if you really want to, you can fill it with some juice or iced tea too.

The mittens are $19.99 and Perpetual Kid says they will be available on the site soon. You can sign up for an email alert.

There’s also free shipping on orders of $25 or more. As if you really needed a reason to order two.
