Measured Shot Liquor Bottle Cap/Top

Abstract

A multifunctional bottle cap/top designed to seal liquor bottles and to measure a variety of volumes for serving alcohol is disclosed. The cap/top is of one-piece construction with a tapered wall extending from a circular top end to a circular bottom end, and an inner cavity calibrated to hold a measured volume(s). The cap/top includes a plurality of threads on the inner surface for engaging with various bottlenecks. In another embodiment, the cap/top includes a digital display on the outer surface, an embedded weight sensor for accurate volume measurement, and a plurality of LEDs. The cap/top is adapted to be used as a shot glass for direct consumption of, for example, 1-ounce of alcohol, or portions/multiples thereof.
