Learn how to pack your CORKCICLE Cruiser for a day out, including tips for using the Leakproof Cruiser and Harry Potter Cruiser to keep drinks cold for 20 hours.

Quick answer

To pack a CORKCICLE Cruiser for a day out, choose the right model for your needs, fill it with your drink, and secure the lid properly. The Leakproof Cruiser is ideal for busy days, while the Harry Potter Cruiser adds a fun touch.

Which Cruiser to Choose

The CORKCICLE Cruiser line includes two popular options: the Leakproof Cruiser and the Harry Potter Cruiser. The Leakproof Cruiser is designed for worry-free carrying in bags, while the Harry Potter Cruiser offers the same 40 oz capacity and 20-hour cold retention with a themed design. Choose based on your need for leakproof security or personal style.

Preparing Your Drink

For best performance, pre-chill your Cruiser by adding ice cubes and cold water a few minutes before filling it with your beverage. This helps maintain cold temperatures for the full 20 hours. Avoid carbonated drinks if using the straw lid, as pressure can build up.

Steps to Pack Your Cruiser for a Day Out

Choose your Cruiser model: Select the Leakproof Cruiser if you plan to carry it in a bag, or the Harry Potter Cruiser if you want a themed design. Both hold 40 oz and keep drinks cold for 20 hours. The Leakproof Cruiser is best for bags; the Harry Potter Cruiser is great for fans.
Pre-chill the Cruiser: Add a handful of ice cubes and cold water to the Cruiser, close the lid, and let it sit for 3-5 minutes. Then empty it and fill with your drink. This ensures maximum cold retention. Skipping pre-chilling can reduce cold retention time.
Fill and secure the lid: Pour your beverage into the pre-chilled Cruiser. For the Leakproof Cruiser, twist the lid until it clicks to seal. For the Harry Potter Cruiser, use the dual-function lid as a sip or straw opening. Make sure the lid is tight before packing. Double-check the lid seal before placing the Cruiser in your bag.
Pack in your bag: Place the Cruiser upright in a secure pocket or compartment. The Leakproof Cruiser can be laid on its side if needed, but upright is best to avoid pressure on the lid. If using the Harry Potter Cruiser, keep it upright to prevent spills from the straw opening.
Enjoy throughout the day: Your drink will stay cold for up to 20 hours. To refresh the ice, add more ice cubes from a cooler or ask for ice at a café. Rinse the Cruiser at the end of the day. The Cruiser is easy to clean with warm soapy water.
