Abstract

A multi flavor beverage bottle comprises a plurality of flavor packets wherein each flavor packet has an outer layer and an inner layer forming a void therebetween. A lance is perpendicularly interposed between the outer layer and inner layer of each flavor packet wherein the lance further comprises a tapered end for piercing a sidewall of the beverage bottle when the lance is compressed. Webbing is secured between each flavor packet so that the inner layer of the plurality of flavor packets is contiguously secured, to the sidewall of the beverage bottle. Flavoring liquid is contained within each flavor packet so that upon piercing the sidewall of the beverage bottle the flavoring liquid is in fluid communication with the unfavored liquid of the beverage bottle and provides a flavor to the liquid contained therein.

Claims

1. A multi flavor beverage bottle comprising:

a plurality of flavor packets wherein each flavor packet having an outer layer and an inner layer forming a void therebetween;

a rigid lance perpendicularly interposed between said outer layer and inner layer of each said flavor packet wherein said lance further comprising a tapered end for piercing a sidewall of a beverage bottle when said lance is compressed;

webbing secured between each flavor packet forming a beverage flavoring ring so that said inner layer of said plurality of flavor packets is contiguously secured to said sidewall of said beverage bottle; and

flavoring liquid contained within each flavor packet so that upon piercing said sidewall of said beverage bottle said flavoring liquid is in fluid communication with unfavored contents of said beverage bottle.

2. The multi flavor beverage bottle of claim 1, wherein each flavor packet contains a different type of flavoring liquid identified by a corresponding different color.

3. The multi flavor beverage bottle of claim 1 wherein said bottle is a plastic beverage container.

4. The beverage flavoring ring of claim 1, wherein said lance further comprises an inlet port at a first end for filling said flavor packet with flavoring liquid from a flavoring source.

5. The lance of claim 4, wherein said lance further comprises an outlet aperture at a second end and within said void of said flavor packet so that a conduit is formed between said inlet port and said outlet aperture for filling said flavor packet.

6. The multi flavor beverage bottle of claim 1, further comprising a water-tight seal between said plurality of flavor packets and said sidewall of beverage bottle so that when said sidewall is pierced no liquid leaks from between said plurality of flavor packets and said beverage bottle.

7. The multi flavor beverage bottle of claim 3, further comprising a perforated area adjacent to each flavor packet so that piercing of said sidewall of beverage bottle by said lance is facilitated.

8. The multi flavor beverage bottle of claim 1, wherein said flavor packets are transparent so that a user can identify said type of flavoring liquid by a corresponding color.

9. The multi flavor beverage bottle of claim 1, wherein said flavoring liquid of each said flavor packet is at a higher pressure than said contents of said beverage bottle to facilitate said flavoring liquid disbursement into said beverage bottle upon piercing said sidewall of beverage container.

10. A multi flavor beverage bottle comprising:

a plurality of flavor packets integrated on an outer surface of said beverage bottle wherein each flavor packet having an outer layer and an inner layer forming a void therebetween;

a perforated area disposed on a sidewall of said beverage bottle adjacent to each flavor packet so that rupturing said sidewall of beverage bottle is facilitated upon application of external pressure;

flavoring liquid contained within each flavor packet so that upon rupturing said sidewall of said beverage bottle said flavoring liquid is in fluid communication with unflavored contents of said beverage bottle; and

each said flavor packet contains a different type of flavoring liquid identified by a corresponding different color.

11. A method of flavoring a beverage, the method comprising:

providing a beverage bottle;

providing a plurality of flavor packets wherein each flavor packet having an outer layer and an inner layer forming a void therebetween;

providing a rigid lance perpendicularly interposed between said outer layer and inner layer of each said flavor packet wherein said lance further comprising a tapered end for piercing a sidewall of said beverage bottle when said lance is compressed;

providing a webbing secured between each flavor packet forming a beverage flavoring ring so that said inner layer of said plurality of flavor packets is contiguously secured to said sidewall of said beverage bottle; and

providing a flavoring liquid contained within each flavor packet so that upon piercing said sidewall of beverage bottle said flavoring liquid is in fluid communication with said beverage bottle.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein each flavor packet contains a different type of flavoring liquid identified by a corresponding different color.

13. The method of claim 11, wherein said beverage bottle is a plastic beverage container.

14. The method of claim 11, further comprising providing said lance with an inlet port at a first end for filling said flavor packet with flavoring liquid from a flavoring source.

15. The method of claim 14, further comprising providing said lance with an outlet aperture at a second end and within said void of said flavor packet so that a conduit is formed between said inlet port and said outlet aperture for filling said flavor packet.

16. The method of claim 11, further comprising providing a water-tight seal between said plurality of flavor packets and said sidewall of beverage bottle so that when said sidewall is pierced no liquid leaks from between said plurality of flavor packets and said beverage bottle.

17. The method of claim 14, farther comprising providing a perforated area adjacent to each flavor packet so that piercing of said sidewall of beverage bottle by said lance is facilitated.

18. The method of claim 11, wherein said flavor packets are transparent so that a user can identify said type of flavoring liquid by a corresponding color.

19. The method of claim 11, wherein each said flavor packet of said plurality of flavor packets is equidistantly spaced on said webbing.

20. The method of claim 11, wherein said flavoring liquid of each said flavor packet is at a higher pressure than said contents of said beverage bottle to facilitate said flavoring liquid disbursement into said beverage bottle upon piercing said sidewall of beverage bottle.
