Abstract
A product configuration is provided for the packaging of non-mixed beverages and dispensing configuration for mixing of a base beverage and mix beverage into a preferred single-serve mixed drink. The product configuration, called a multi-beverage packaging configuration includes a plurality of base beverage containers, containing a first beverage which may be carbonated, with one or more mix beverage containers, containing one or more mix beverage-for separate consumption or mixing, and one or more volumetric dispensers. The volume of the mix beverage is proportionally divisible by the number of base beverage containers in the product configuration and the division of which is equal to the volume of the volumetric dispenser. The ratio of mix beverage to base beverage in the mixed drink is dependent on the number of base beverage containers in the product configuration, and on the volume of the volumetric dispenser.
