Have a shot glass handy in your pocket at all times with the Original Shot Flask. The flask itself is a stylish and slim low-key drink holder that slides right into your pocket, while the [collapsible shot glass](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origami-cup) fits into a cutout on the side.

This convenient two-in-one contraption is perfect for taking a shot at any time of the day, no matter where you are. Encased in bonded black leather, the [8 oz flask](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jameson-football-flask) is a stylish companion for discretely carrying liquor. The removable [stainless steel cup](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vssl-rift-tumbler), which can be pulled out into a full sized 2 oz shot glass, means you won't have to resort to taking swigs straight out of the bottle.

It's always 5pm somewhere when you use the Original Shot Flask.
