Abstract
The capsule (3) comprises a lower cap (4) with a security strip (12) which inserts removably on a mouth (2) of a bottle. The upper part of the lower cap (4) is open and provided with a neck (4a) which couples with an upper cap (5), also having a security strip (13). A reservoir (8) is comprised within the upper cap (5) and has a breakable bottom (8a); the reservoir (8) also internally comprises a cutter (9). The upper cap (5) can move axially downwards with respect to the neck (4a) and the bottle, while it is prevented from moving upwards. The capsule also includes an anchoring between the reservoir (8) and the neck (4a) of the capsule when the reservoir is inserted in the neck (4a). The process comprises a stage of filling the bottle with fizzy water, a stage of hermetically closing the bottle with a capsule containing substances to be added to the fizzy water, and a stage of introducing the substances into the fizzy water before consuming the drink.
