The present disclosure relates to a bottle with a detachable housing and corresponding storage compartment. Indeed, the disclosed bottle can include a receptacle formed within an exterior side surface (or sidewall) or as part of the bottle lid. Within the receptacle, the disclosed bottle can integrate a detachable housing with the bottle via one or more attachment mechanisms (e.g., magnets). For instance, the disclosed bottle attaches the detachable housing to a receptacle sidewall such that the disclosed bottle can maintain a generally uniform profile across the exterior side surface. The detachable housing can include a storage compartment for storing and/or securing one or more items, such as cutlery, medicine, personal hygiene items, etc.

An apparatus and method are provided for storing and dispensing into a liquid a soluble substance, such as a flavoring, a body fuel, a nutritional supplement, a stimulant, a relaxant, an alcohol neutralizer, or a medical drug. A useful application of the subject invention includes a lime flavoring held by a gelatinous artificial lime wedge stored with a beer bottle or can, or attached to a 6-pack or 12-pack carton. The artificial lime wedge may be retrieved from a protective covering and acted upon so it mixes the lime flavoring into the beer when it is inserted into the beer bottle or can. Rather than needing to buy and store a perishable natural lime, and cut it up, an artificial lime wedge may be stored for an extended period of time with a beer vessel and placed in functional contact with the beer at time of consumption.
