Benefits of technology
The invention is a lid for a cup that can hold a bottle with a neck upside down inside the cup. The lid has a rim attachment mechanism, a dome with an aperture, and a bottle receptacle inside the dome that can hold the bottle in a fixed position relative to the lid. The technical effect of this invention is to provide a convenient and easy-to-use way to carry bottles in a cup without compromising the taste and quality of the beverage.
Problems solved by technology
While simply inverting a beer bottle into a drink glass is effective, it is not always stable and the beer bottle can fall or be easily knocked out of the glass.
Further, the technique has only been used with traditional, wide rimmed, glass margarita glasses.

Embodiment Construction
[0013]Referring now to FIG. 1, an embodiment of a lid according to the concepts described herein is shown. As described above, it has become popular to invert a bottle of beer into a frozen mixed drink to form a new type of cocktail. Most commonly a bottle of beer is inserted upside down into a frozen margarita to create a “beer rita.” While this is the most popular example of such a drink, any types of beverages could be used, alcoholic or non-alcoholic. Typically, the bottle is set into the glass or pitcher and rests against the edge of the glass or pitcher. Unfortunately, a bottle in that position can be prone to falling or being knocked out of the glass or pitcher. Additionally, that type of arrangement uses wide rimmed margarita glasses and does not work well for disposable cups. The present invention describes a lid for a disposable cup that can be used to hold a bottle inverted in the cup in a stable manner.

Abstract
A lid for a cup is described, where the lid acts to hold a bottle with a neck upside down inside the cup. The lid includes a rim attachment mechanism allowing the lid to be attached to the cup, a dome connected to the rim attachment mechanism and having a aperture therein, and a bottle receptacle extending into the interior of the dome through the aperture in the dome, wherein the bottle receptacle is formed to accept the neck of the bottle and to hold the bottle in a fixed position relative to the lid.
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present disclosure is directed to lids for holding a bottle inverted in a disposable cup.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]While beer and margaritas have always been popular drinks, a recent phenomenon has occurred where frozen margaritas have been combined with beer. The “beer rita” is typically made by inverting a bottle of beer into a glass or pitcher of frozen margaritas. This allows the beer to slowly combine with the margarita as it is being consumed. The popularity of the beer rita has been increasing as it has been shown on various reality televisions shows. While simply inverting a beer bottle into a drink glass is effective, it is not always stable and the beer bottle can fall or be easily knocked out of the glass. Further, the technique has only been used with traditional, wide rimmed, glass margarita glasses. It would be helpful to have an inexpensive disposable cup and lid that would hold a beer bottle securely in the disposable cup.BRIEF SUMMARY...
