Roll up a post-it so that the sticky is to the outside, and the small
funnel end is smaller than the flask opening.

A bartender's bottle spigot would probably fit yur flask. It's pretty
simple to form a narrower tip for your existing funnel from aluminum foil.
Or if you have a turkey baster. I woulda placed the flask in a glass bowl
and pour freehand directly from the bottle... any spillage in the bowl is
sot's treat.

Go and get a 20cc syringe from your local feed store.

find some gum or rubber tubing that will fit in the bottle, and stretch
over the funnel?

Buy another bottle?

find a container that the flask will just barely fit in, and submerge
the flask into the booze.

Find or make a funnel (like cutting the top off a water bottle) that
will fit over the OUTSIDE of the flask's neck. Use tape, rubber or
leather as a gasket, as long as it is tight.

McGyver several sizes of straw together, in reducing diameters, using tape.

How big is this opening, btw?

With a hypodermic needle? One of those plastic squeeze bottles
with the narrow spout used for ketchup or cake decorating? Wilton
makes the latter. A perfume funnel?

Ask your pharmacist for one of the syringe-type things they use
for giving liquid meds to babies. That might be narrow enough.

I have had two flasks, both of which came with small
funnels. Assuming you don't have one of these, a quick
google search will find you quite a variety to pick from,
or you might indeed roll a post-it note or small piece
of wax paper, or buy miniature bottles of whatever
your booze of choice is, as their opening is small
enough to fit fairly well into the flask. As a last resort
you might fill your mouth with the booze, then insert
a straw into your (filled) mouth and expel the booze
into the flask opening through the straw. But you
probably want to save that flask-full for yourself only.

I was thinking to myself.. Yah! Here's a guy that thinks like me. Right
up to the mouth/straw thing. You lost me there.

If someone is hard core enough to mouth the alcohol into the flask via a
straw, he needs to seek treatment. The post-it approach is something
I've done with a small flask. The spittle laced alcohol is not.

I have a regular sized funnel (small) which could be used to fill a
flask. But when I needed to fill my glass "candles" with oil and
didn't have a tiny funnel (which my grandmother would have called a
"perfume funnel") - I used foil coiled into a funnel shape. It
worked.

Buy a mini funnel... I got a set of three in different sizes made for
filling perfume bottles etc. (I use them for my spice jars...)

A real photography store that sells darkroom equipment might have such
funnels.

It wasn't exactly a serious suggestion.

Make a funnel out of tin foil.

Chuck the flask and just slurp outta the bottle.


Being a brandy drinker, that should be second nature to you.

Pour the brandy into a cup or bowl.
With a spoon, pick up some brandy and pour it
from the spoon into the bottle. It'll be
slow going to fill the bottle a spoonful
at a time, but the time will pass quickly.

Use a pour spout on the booze bottle.

Use a bulb type turkey baster.
Most everyone has one and it should be
small enough to fit the flask

Get a coffee stirrer or thin straw or bamboo skewer. Stick one end in
the flask, without touching the sides of the mouth. Pour the brandy
slowly *down* the stick. With care you can spill not a drop.
