  Hereinafter, based on an accompanying drawing, an embodiment of a container for beverages concerning the present invention is described in detail.

[Container configuration]
First, based on FIGS. 1-4, the structure of the container 1 which concerns on this invention is demonstrated.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a container 1 according to the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a modification of the container 1 according to the present invention.
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a state where the cap 31 included in the container 1 of FIG. 1 is removed.
FIG. 4 is a view showing a state in which an additive is added to the mineral drinking water 2 in the container 1 of FIG.

  A container 1 for beverages according to the present invention is a bag containing a container body 11 made of PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate), a cap 31 that can also be used as a cup, and additives (components that become a flavor element) to be described later. 41.

  The container main body 11 accommodates the mineral drinking water 2 inside, and has a mouth portion 13 formed in a substantially cylindrical shape as shown in FIG. The mouth portion 13 has a slightly larger caliber than a commercially available PET bottle. An opening (passage) 19 through which the mineral drinking water 2 can be discharged to the outside is formed inside the mouth portion 13.

  The cap 31 forming the stopper of the container body 11 is formed to have a cup shape. At the time of drinking, the removed cap 31 can be used as a cup.

  The bag 41 is made of vinyl or paper, and is affixed to the outer wall of the container body 11 via an adhesive or the like as shown in FIG. In the bag 41, the additive 3 added and mixed with respect to the mineral drinking water 2 in the container main body 11 is accommodated.

  The type of the additive 3 contained in the bag 41 is not particularly limited. Examples thereof include tea ingredients, coffee ingredients, pungent ingredients, fragrances, fruit juices, sugars, salts, lactic acid bacteria, various vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and collagen. , Any one of powdered, granular, granular, tablet-like, liquid and pasty processed foods, or a mixture of two or more thereof.
