A small volume metal beverage can is provided. The small volume metal beverage can has a diameter approximately equal to a convention, single serving beverage can, which is typically a diameter of between about 2.0 and 2.25 inches, and a length, significantly less than 2.0 inches but sufficient to contain the required volume of liquid for the small volume that comprises a typical single serving size, which single serving size may range from about 0.5 ounces to about 2.5 ounces. The small volume metal beverage can has a base and a top lid connected by a cylindrical sidewall. The base, top lid, and cylindrical sidewall forms a generally squat form taking a shape similar to an ice hockey puck. The top lid is generally formed with a removable opening, such as, for example, a pull tab or pop top. The small volume metal beverage can is stackable on a conventional beverage can.

The present disclosure relates to a gummy confectionery composition comprising: a gummy matrix and one or more components derived from an alcoholic beverage, the one or more components contained within the gummy matrix; or a gummy matrix and alcohol contained within the gummy matrix. The gummy matrix is derived from ingredients comprising a gelling agent, a sweetener, and a texturizing agent. The present disclosure also relates to a process of manufacturing gummy confectionery composition. The process comprises mixing at least a gelling agent and fluid sweetener to form a first mixture, heating the first mixture to a simmer, reducing the heat applied to the first mixture to below the simmering temperature, and mixing an alcohol containing solution and a texturizing agent with the first mixture. The second mixture may comprise 10-60 wt % of the alcohol containing solution, 15-30 wt % of the gelling agent, and 20-70 wt % of the sweetener.

A container assembly (10) for retaining a liquid (16) during aging of the liquid (16) comprises a container (12) and an oxygenator (230). The container (12) includes a container body (14) that defines a chamber (14A) that receives and retains the liquid (16). The oxygenator (230) is positioned substantially within the chamber (14A). The oxygenator (230) includes a fluid source (662), one or more diffusers (672), and a valve (670). The one or more diffusers (672) are in fluid communication with the fluid source (662). The valve (670) selectively controls the introduction of a fluid from the fluid source (662) into the liquid (16) through the one or more diffusers (672). The container assembly (10) further comprises an insert retainer assembly (338) and one or more flavor inserts (440) that are received and retained by the insert retainer assembly (338). The container (12) further includes a container aperture (20) that extends through the container body (14). The container aperture (20) can have a size that is less than approximately twenty-five percent of the total surface area of a top of the container body (14). Additionally, the container aperture (20) can extend outward radially from the center of the top of the container body (14).
