A self-contained unit that stores, or contains, one or more ingredients required for a mixed drink. The self-contained unit allows for storing fluids and has multiple parts for storing individual components or ingredients associated with a mixed drink, which, when mixed together, provide a predetermined, blended liquid beverage. The self-contained unit comprises at least three components which can be packaged as a single, individual unit. The self-contained unit includes an upper portion, an intermediate portion, and a lower portion. The self-contained unit is configured to 1) contain all necessary ingredients to provide a mixed drink, 2) provide an easy to handle, all-in-one transportation mechanism, and 3) provide a device to allow a user to store and drink the mixed drink therefrom.

A drinking container lid device for covering an opening of a drinking container, the drinking container has a rim defining the opening is provided. The drinking container lid device comprises a hollow casing lid with an opening formed in the hollow casing. An elastic material completely encircles the opening. The lid is positionable about the rim of the drinking container completely covering the opening of the drinking container. The elastic material releasably secures the lid about the rim of the drinking container. The lid enables users to easily cover, protect, and personalize the drinking vessel and protect health, hygiene, and peace of mind.

Within the scope of the present invention is a drink protector that prevents adulteration of the contents within a beverage container.

Embodiments provide a beverage lid including an upper lid surface, a fluid exit port positioned at least in part in the upper lid surface, a vertical lid surface in contact with the upper lid surface and an anti-splash component in contact with at least one of the upper lid surface and vertical lid surface and positioned substantially between a fluid and the fluid exit. In the event of the fluid splashing, the anti-splash component substantially prevents fluid from exiting the lid through the fluid exit, and in the event of a user drinking from the fluid exit, the fluid moves around the anti-splash component and out the fluid exit.
