Drinking vessel designed to incorporate an alcoholic beverage container

Abstract

A vessel with a bottom adapted to fit snugly over the cap of a capped miniature (50 ml) bottle is provided. The vessel possesses the traditional martini flare, transforming a mini-bottle into a sophisticated martini glass upon assembly. The mini-bottle serves as the assembled martini glass's stem and may do so as either an empty bottle or a filled reserve. A second, open bottomed version of the present invention is also provided for permitting the contents of the bottle to enter the vessel and be consumed by the user. The funnel like vessel attaches to the top of an uncapped bottle to form an integrated drinking cup.
