Next, rotate the vessel 1 so that the accommodating space 15 faces downwards and faces the cup 50, and the four fingers 511 of a hand 51 apply a pressure F1 from the outside to the inside to squeeze the outer walls of the storage boxes 11 113, so that the storage boxes 11 drive the top wall 12 to gather up and deform and quickly retract to the intermediate gap 13 and the side gaps 14 to move closer to each other.

When the top wall 12 is folded and deformed as shown in FIG. 7, the second connecting wall portions 125 will gradually expand outward. Since each of the second connecting wall portions 125 is stepped, when the second connecting wall portions 125 expand outward, the bearing surfaces 126 will exert a downward component force on the outer periphery of the second conditioning ingredient 3 to The second conditioning ingredient 3 is pushed down so that the second conditioning ingredient 3 can be easily separated from the second connecting wall portions 125. Thereby, the second conditioning ingredient 3 is easily squeezed out of the accommodating space 15 first and then falls down into the cup 50.

Then, when the storage boxes 11 are squeezed together as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, each of the storage boxes 11 applies a pressure F2 to two adjacent ones through the side walls 114. The corresponding side walls 114 of the storage box 11, and at the same time, the side walls 114 themselves will also bear the pressure F2 applied by two adjacent storage boxes 11. Thereby, the outer periphery of the corresponding first conditioning ingredient 21, 22, 23, 24 in the accommodating chamber 115 of each of the storage boxes 11 will simultaneously bear one pressure F1 and two pressures F2 Squeeze. Since each side wall 114 of each of the storage boxes 11 and the corresponding side wall 114 of the adjacent storage box 11 are in contact and squeezed positions adjacent to the bottom wall 111, the side walls 114 bear the The pressure F2 is adjacent to the bottom wall 111. Therefore, the pressures F2 are equivalent to squeezing the corresponding parts of the first conditioning ingredients 21, 22, 23, 24 adjacent to the bottom. Thereby, the first conditioning ingredients 21, 22, 23, 24 can be squeezed out of the containing chambers 115 conveniently and quickly, so that the first conditioning ingredients 21, 22, 23, 24 can fall down Fall into the cup 50.

1 and 2, because the ingredient storage 100 has stored the first conditioning ingredients 21, 22, 23, 24 and the second conditioning ingredients 3 and other necessary conditioning ingredients required for cocktail preparation, therefore, consumers As long as the ingredient storage 100 is purchased, all the required conditioning ingredients can be purchased at one time, without the need to purchase separately, which greatly improves the convenience during purchase. In addition, since the amount of ingredients stored in the ingredient storage 100 is suitable for preparing a glass of cocktail calculated by the amount of glass, for example, consumers can purchase an appropriate amount of the ingredient storage 100 according to the amount of cocktail glass to be prepared.
