  • Beverage-cooling vessel
    Patent number: 7272952
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for cooling a beverage, through the special design of a vessel for dispensing a beverage, is disclosed. The beverage is cooled while it is inside an upper portion of the vessel, through contact with a consumable substance with a lower temperature than the beverage. The consumable substance is located in a freezable reservoir, and is substantially frozen before the beverage is introduced into the vessel. The beverage and the consumable substance make contact through a neck separating the upper portion of the vessel from the freezable reservoir. As the consumable substance melts, it gradually mixes with the beverage, continuing to cool the beverage over a period of time, without ice floating to the top of the vessel.
