PET Oval Bottles are primarily for storing and dispensing liquids. They have a flatter profile than cylinder bottles to better fit in your pocket or pack. Use them to repackage larger containers so you take only what you need on your trip. No sense taking a large bottle of something and only using a little bit. PET is the same material soda bottles are made of. It's stiffer than LDPE and not quite as squeezable, but is ideal for alcohol (stove or otherwise).
The smaller 1 or 2 oz (30 or 60 ml) bottles are great for sunscreen, insect repellent, soap, or hand sanitizer. The larger 4, 6, 8 or 12 oz (120, 180, 240, or 360 ml) bottles work well for stove alcohol or even bourbon. The bottles are crystal clear so you can see there’s something in it and how much is left. Be sure to mark the bottle with what’s inside using a permanent marker, tape, or label. Graduation marks could also be useful to mark on alcohol bottles.
Four different cap styles are available. Choose the style that works best for your application. Learn more about plastic container materials, neck size, and cap seals.

Heck Yeah!!
Absolutely bombproof and leakproof bottles. I use a 4oz bottle with the flip spout to store my denatured alcohol fuel, for my alcohol stove. It's important to get a trustworthy bottle for such hazardous materials (as denatured alcohol is poisoned with unknown toxins that can leech through your skin!), and this bottle has never even sort of leaked on me (a year of wear and tear so far). I used a permanent sharpie to draw a skull and crossbones on this bottle, and the sharpie does not come off/rub off at all, unless I wipe it down with rubbing alcohol. I also added graduation marks to the side of my fuel bottle using Litesmith's 1oz measuring cup. I store my fuel bottle in a small DCF sack just in case something happens, but nothing has so far. When I bring booze on trips, I bring it in one of these 4oz PET bottles (with a screw on lid so I'm not squirting bourbon into my mouth). Now this one I draw a smiley face on :) Beats any flask out there hands down in terms of weight, packability, and leak-proofness. I do not store drinking alcohol in these plastic bottles long term, but they are just perfect for a few nights of storage. Thank you Litesmith for these killer, trustworthy and reliable products. I am not sure if these items are being made in the USA or not, but if they aren't, it would be awesome to see that happen at some point. [Litesmith] Made in USA

Great for my backpacking cocktail mix
I got two of the four oz bottles, which allows me to pre-mix about three backpacking margaritas for in-camp cocktail hour. These bottles didn't leak at all. Here's the recipe for one margarita: At home: 2oz Cazadores Reposado tequila 1 oz Grand Marnier -- Add both to bottle, mark the bottle at 3oz so you know how much of the booze to mix with each packet from below At home part 2: 1.25 tsp Truelime powder 1 scant tsp sugar -- Mix the above in a little pouch of cling wrap, then wrap in some aluminum foil, to keep it closed tight. In camp: Mix three ounces of the tequila mix with one bundle of the truelime/sugar. Stir until the sugar is nice and dissolved. Takes a little time, don't rush it. If you're car camping, and have some clean ice, add that and enjoy. If you're backpacking, you just have to get used to the idea that your drink won't be cold, and add a squirt of your filtered water so it's diluted to your preference. When it's springtime you can set your cup in a patch of snow to chill once the sugar is dissolved, but before drinking.

best light weight flask i have found.
I bought this bottle to use as a flask for my Fireball. I like to add a shot of it at night to my coffee to relax me for a good nights sleep. The bottle has not leaked to this date and has been on two three day trips and a weekend trip. I’m happy with the bottle. Just wish I could find one that would refill itself as I used it.
