Multi-chambered shot glass

Abstract

A multi-chambered shot glass for storing and transporting multiple liquids for consumption or mixing at a time after the chambers have been filled includes a first body portion comprising a first chamber and a second chamber, the first chamber and the second chamber separated by an inner partition. The first chamber has a first aperture configured to form a fixed first chamber rim and a seal covering the first aperture. The second chamber includes a second aperture configured to form a second chamber rim. A second body portion having a fixed third chamber includes a third aperture. The fixed third chamber is configured for insertion into the second chamber such that the third chamber engages the second chamber in a fluid sealed configuration.

We claim: 
     
         1 . A multi-chambered shot glass apparatus for containing multi-component beverages, the apparatus comprising:
 a body portion comprising a fixed first chamber and a fixed second chamber, the fixed first chamber and the fixed second chamber separated by an inner partition;   the fixed first chamber comprising a first aperture;   the fixed second chamber comprising a second aperture;   the first aperture configured to form a fixed first chamber rim, and the second aperture configured to form a fixed second chamber rim;   a first seal covering the first chamber rim in a fluid sealed configuration;   a second seal covering the second chamber rim in a fluid sealed configuration; and   wherein the fixed first chamber and the fixed second chamber each contain different components of the multi-component beverage.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1  further comprising a first cap covering the first aperture, and a second cap covering the second aperture. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 2  wherein the first cap and the second cap are removably affixed to the body portion. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the fixed first chamber is larger than the fixed second chamber. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the body portion is cylindrical. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the first seal and the second seal are adhered to the first aperture and the second aperture using a food grade adhesive. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein a salt is disposed between the fixed first chamber rim and the first chamber seal. 
     
     
         8 . A multi-chambered shot glass apparatus for containing multi-component beverages, the apparatus comprising:
 a first body portion comprising a fixed first chamber and a fixed second chamber, the fixed first chamber and the fixed second chamber separated by an inner partition;   the fixed first chamber comprising a first aperture configured to form a fixed first chamber rim;   a seal covering the first aperture in a fluid sealed configuration;   the fixed second chamber comprising a second aperture configured to form a fixed second chamber rim;   a second body portion comprising a fixed third chamber comprising a third aperture; and   wherein the fixed third chamber is configured for insertion into the second chamber such that the third chamber engages the second chamber in a fluid sealed configuration.   
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 8  further comprising a first cap covering the first aperture. 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus of  claim 8  wherein the second body portion comprises a second cap configured to engage the fixed second chamber rim. 
     
     
         11 . The apparatus of  claim 8  wherein the first cap is removably affixed to the body portion. 
     
     
         12 . The apparatus of  claim 8  wherein the second body portion is removably affixed to the first body portion. 
     
     
         13 . The apparatus of  claim 8  wherein the fixed first chamber is larger than the fixed second chamber. 
     
     
         14 . The apparatus of  claim 8  wherein the body portion is cylindrical. 
     
     
         15 . The apparatus of  claim 8  wherein the first seal is adhered to the first aperture and the second aperture using a food grade adhesive. 
     
     
         16 . The apparatus of  claim 8  wherein a salt is disposed between the fixed first chamber rim and the first chamber seal. 
     
     
         17 . The apparatus of  claim 8  wherein the fixed third chamber comprises a third seal covering the third aperture in a fluid sealed configuration. 
     
     
         18 . A method of preparing a multi-chambered shot glass apparatus for containing multi-component beverages, the method comprising the steps of:
 providing a first body portion having a fixed first chamber and a separate fixed second chamber;   providing a second body portion having a fixed third chamber;   configuring the fixed third chamber for insertion into the fixed second chamber in a fluid sealed configuration;   filling the fixed first chamber with a component of the multi-component beverage;   providing a seal over the fixed first chamber;   filling the fixed third chamber with a component of the multi-component beverage; and   inserting the second body into the second chamber of the first body portion such in a fluid sealed configuration.   
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 18  further comprising the step of providing a seal over the fixed third chamber. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 18  further comprising the step of providing a cap over the fixed first chamber.
