Abstract: This present invention relates to a flavor dispensing drinking straw device designed to retain and dispense an appropriate amount of flavoring, syrup and/or medicine into a beverage as per the desires of the users. The device comprises a topper having an internal cavity that holds a predefined amount of flavoring, syrup and/or medicine that the user can dispense through a spiral straw by simply and gently squeezing the topper, wherein the user can then consume the flavored or medicated beverage through a second tubular straw in a traditional manner. The uniquely designed straw device is both environmentally safe and reusable. Additionally, the topper can be refilled with the flavor, once the stored flavor is exhausted. The flavor infusing straw offers a more enjoyable and delicious drinking experience, and can be used with a variety of beverage containers.
