Abstract

An apparatus and method are disclosed for carbonation of liquids, such as beverages like cocktails. The apparatus includes a transparent container having a small opening and a twist-lock large opening. The small opening includes a self-sealing one-way valve to introduce a gas, such as CO2, into the container. The large opening is used to load the liquid and solid ingredients, such as ice and fruit chunks. The large opening includes an O-ring to self-seal the container upon pressurization by the gas. A light port at the bottom of the container may be provided through which a light may be shone for visual effects. In operation, the user fills the container through the large opening with ice and fruit chunks, and twists the large opening shut. The user then injects CO2 through the valve and shakes the container to produce high-quality highly carbonated cocktails that sparkle much like Champagne.
