Abstract

A method of dispensing a liquid into a drinking container comprises the steps of: (a) providing a liquid dispenser comprising a body defining an interior containment space in which the liquid to be dispensed is contained and a structure for mounting of the body of the liquid dispenser onto the drinking container such that the liquid dispenser does not obstruct drinking from a rim of the drinking container; (b) dispensing the liquid from the liquid dispenser into the drinking container; and (c) mounting the liquid dispenser onto the drinking container via the structure of the liquid dispenser.

Claims
