Abstract
Abstract Drink mixing apparatus including a preformed circular container cover, a container, and a circular or like base. The container cover is substantially circular including a preformed indentation for accepting and engaging against a lip of a container and is a closed-cell foam with a laminated film on both sides. The container can be a shake container or shot glass. The base is circular or the like geometrical configuration of closed-cell foam. In mixing, the preformed container cover and container are slammed with a hand motion onto the base, causing effervescence of the contents of the container, usually a liquor and carbonated liquid. The base and cover can be of PVC closed-cell foam or the like.
