Interesting. I’m not sure I’ve seen those in europe. Are they standard hotel mini-bar bottles? I don’t drink and I’m pretty sure they don‘t sell them in sweden‘s state liquor store.
60ml would be a useful size 👍

In the USA state of South Carolina, from 1973 thru 2005, you could ONLY get liquor at bars in "mini-bottles", instead of "free pour" from a typical 750ml bottle. If you ordered "two, three ways", that meant you wanted two mini-bottles split three ways for a drink for each of the three of you. This seriously hindered cocktail culture until repeal enacted on January 1, 2006.

Wow! I thought PA was bad. All liquor sales are still state controlled. Wine is now available in grocery stores that meet certain criteria. That’s a relatively recent change. I try to buy in NJ whenever possible. During the pandemic, when liquor stores in PA were closed, you’d see a lot of PA license plates in place like Total Wine across the river in NJ.

Fun fact: The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board was, and might still be, the largest single purchaser of wine and spirits in the US.

As mentioned above trangia bottles are the way to go they make them down to .3 liters. I have some bottles that came out of Swiss army mess kit but they are hard to find a now expensive

I think Utah was same, SC was last in country like that.

Under referendum, WA state went from state stores to private. Liquor costs the same (despite promises of more competition), high taxes, just the profits go to private companies instead of benefitting state programs. If fact I think prices are higher now because liquor taxes were raised, due to losing any profit on just the normal sale of it. And state stores had better selection, I can't find Cruzan black strap rum (a bargain at old prices) to save my life.

Stainless steel water bottles are commonplace now, and cheap used at goodwill. Here is one smaller than typical, 355ml, new with tag on bottom, $3.99. I don't know if the plastic cap or o-ring is fuel safe. Some stainless bottles have stainless caps, though still an o-ring.

You can find the new empty bottles for pretty cheap on amazon. Not sure about sale in europe or shipping to there, but I'd guess it wouldn't be a problem. A google search for "empty mini liquor bottle" should turn up quite a few hits.

Thanks. Yes lots on Amazon. They look like they have metal caps, though I might be mistaken. Not a fan. I’ve had them get a bit bent over time and leak

ah, scrolled a bit. Tons of choices. Who wudda thunk!

Most of the plastic bottles I have seen had plastic caps. The glass bottles tended to have metal caps. The ones with metal caps that I remember had pretty sturdy ones. Not sure about what is currently available though. Things may have changed.

What about just super gluing the flip top down? You then have a lightweight alcohol specific bottle.

At least your pannier smelled good when the shampoo came undone :)

Thanks! BTW, that Ti stove on Amazon doesn't come with a snuffer lid, but I just ordered a Ti lid on Aliexpress for under $4.
