Abstract

An illuminatable beverage accessory device having at least one light; at least one power source; a cartridge having a chamber for the light and a chamber for the power source which is either adapted to permit the power source, upon suitable application of external force, to reciprocally translate from one side (to turn the light on) to the other side (to turn the light off) or which uses a push-button switch device; and a housing having a cavity therein covering the cartridge. It is preferably constructed in a water-tight fashion to permit its use and illumination in a liquid. It is also preferably constructed to simulated a partially melted ice cube or ice berg and is adapted to house and display messages of various three-dimensional objects from within.
