This amusing Graduation Cap Flask offers graduates the option of getting the party started a little early by integrating alcoholic beverages into their [awkward formal attire](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cold-tux-and-brrrtie). On Foodbeast, Dominique Zamora describes how you can make your own mortarboard by adapting an existing [academic cap](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/patch-cap) with a few extra components. Pull the tassel out of the top and replace it with a long and flexible straw. Wrap this tube up with matching fabric and bind it in thread to represent the iconic colors of your college. It's easiest to chose a straw that's attached to a ready-made [flask bladder](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jameson-football-flask), which you can tape or glue to the inside of your Graduation Cap Flask.
