Abstract: A cap equipped with a dispensing nozzle is provided for use with a hermetically sealed container which includes a body portion and a neck portion sealed by a pierceable membrane. A spike within the cap pierces the membrane when the cap is threaded onto the neck portion of the container so as to provide access to the contents of the container. The spike includes a passageway in fluid flow communication with a dispensing nozzle on the cap so as to allow dispensing of the contents of such container. In one cap embodiment, the draining spike is an element nestable within the cap which is made of a relatively harder material than the cap. In another cap embodiment, the draining spike is unitary with the cap and made of the same relatively harder material as the cap. A flip top assembly is also provided including a flip top which covers the dispensing nozzle to seal the cap. The flip top is retained on the dispenser by a flexible arm which is unitary with the cap or with a ring.
