  • Patent number: 5085330
    Abstract: A drinking apparatus is provided for separately storing a carbonated beverage and ice cream in close proximity to one another, and for selectively mixing the beverage and the ice cream to provide a drink having the flavor of an ice cream float. The drinking apparatus is intended for use with a bottle having an upper threaded neck. The drinking apparatus includes a bottle attachment housing for storing the ice cream, having a threaded flange at one end dimensioned to engage the threaded bottle neck to secure the attachment housing to the bottle. A barrier is provided within the attachment housing for separating the ice cream from the beverage, and apertures through the barrier define a flow path from the bottle into the housing. A lower platform extends upwardly from the barrier to support the ice cream within the housing in a spaced relation relative to the barrier apertures. A housing cap is attached to the housing opposite to the drinking bottle and defines, with the housing, a chamber for the ice cream.
