Two compartments beverage bottle
The present invention provides a beverage bottle comprising an outer bottle ( 2 ) and an inner container ( 4 ). The inner container holds a first liquid (such an alcoholic spirit or a flavoured concentrate) and the space between the outer container and the inner container holds a second liquid (such as a still or carbonated mixer). The inner container ( 4 ) is twisted along its length to resist the flow of the first liquid to ensure that if the contents are consumed directly from the beverage bottle, every mouthful contains substantially the same ratio of first and second liquids.
1. A beverage bottle comprising an outer container for holding a first liquid and an inner container within the outer container for holding a second liquid such that the first and second liquids are kept separate until they are poured or dispensed from the bottle wherein the inner container defines an inner surface that is substantially helical in configuration so as to cause simultaneous dispensing of the first liquid and the second liquid.
2. The beverage bottle according to claim 1 , wherein the inner container is fixed to a sleeve positioned in an open end of the outer container.
3. The beverage bottle according to claim 2 , wherein the sleeve has a first aperture to allow the first liquid to be dispensed from the bottle and a second aperture to allow the second liquid to be dispensed from the bottle.
4. The beverage bottle according to claim 3 , wherein at least one of the first aperture and the second aperture is sealed to keep the first and second liquids separate until the liquids in the bottle are dispensed.
5. The beverage bottle according to claim 3 , wherein the first and second apertures are chosen to dispense the liquids contained in said containers at predetermined rates.
6. The beverage bottle according to claim 1 , wherein the inner container is secured to a base of the outer container.
7. The beverage bottle according to claim 1 , wherein the inner container is secured to a base of the outer container by means of a supporting collar.
8. The beverage bottle according to claim 1 , wherein the inner container has a rectangular, square, or triangular cross-section.
9. The beverage bottle according to claim 1 , wherein the outer container is formed of glass or a plastics material.
10. The beverage bottle according to claim 1 , wherein the inner container is formed of glass or a plastics material.
11. The beverage bottle according to claim 1 , wherein the outer and inner containers are transparent.
12. The beverage bottle according to claim 1 , wherein the outer and inner containers dispense the liquids contained therein at a constant ratio.
13. The beverage bottle according to claim 1 , wherein the inner container is twisted along its length with the number of twists selected so as to dispense the liquid contained therein at a predetermined rate.
