Liquid dispensing apparatus

A liquid dispensing apparatus comprising:

• a first container containing a first liquid, the first container having an opening in an end of the first container;
• a second container adjacent to the first container, the second container containing a second liquid, the second container having an opening in an end of the second container,
• the opening in the end of the first container is proximate to the opening in the end of the second container,
• the first container and the second container separate the first liquid from the second liquid;
• one of the first liquid and the second liquid contains a tastant which is essentially absent from the other liquid or is present in a relatively differing amount;
• and
• the arrangement of the first container and the second container, and/or the arrangement of the opening in the end of the first container and the opening in the end of the second container are such that, when the first and the second liquids are poured from the apparatus, the first liquid flows through the opening in the end of the first container and the second liquid flows through the opening in the end of the second container, such that the first liquid begins to exit the opening in the end of the first container before the second liquid begins to exit the opening in the end of the second container,
• the tastant is selected from the group consisting of sodium chloride, potassium chloride, ammonium chloride, glucose, sucrose, fructose and galactose, and a ratio of a concentration of the tastant in the first liquid to an overall concentration of the tastant in a beverage is between 3:1 and 1.1:1.
