Abstract
An apparatus and method for dispensing a beverage from either one of two sizes of beverage bottles. The apparatus includes a base, at least one canister, an adapter cap, a valve assembly, and a pump. The adapter cap has two sets of threads. Typically, one set of threads fits a two liter beverage bottle and the other set of threads mates with a three liter beverage bottle. Further, the adapter cap has both a dispensing port and an injection port, each of which is in fluid communication with the contents of a beverage bottle attached to the adapter cap. A dispensing tube connects the dispensing port of the adapter cap with the valve assembly and an injection tube connects the injection port of the adapter cap with the pump. The canister has a pivotable front portion which may be opened to expose the interior of the canister.
