The container may comprise an outer shell separated into multiple compartments by a divider. A user may select which of multiple beverages to consume or dispense aligning a conduit or opening of the container's cap to the desired compartment. The beverage in that conduit may then be consumed or dispensed through the conduit or opening. An inner cover may be included to help ensure liquids are sealed within each compartment. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A multi-compartment beverage container comprising: an outer shell having an open top end and a closed bottom end; a divider configured to separate an interior area enclosed by the outer shell into a plurality of compartments, each of the compartments being watertight; an inner cover configured to enclose the open top end of the outer shell; one or more openings in the inner cover positioned at each of the plurality of compartments; and a conduit above the inner cover and configured to selectively align with the plurality of openings to allow a liquid in the plurality of compartments to be consumed or dispensed from each of the plurality of compartments. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The multi-compartment beverage container of claim 1 further comprising a cap configured to engage the top end of the outer shell, wherein the conduit is supported by the cap. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The multi-compartment beverage container of claim 2 wherein the cap comprises a rotatable portion and the conduit is attached to the rotatable portion. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The multi-compartment beverage container of claim 1 further comprising at least one inner straw extending downward from at least one of the plurality of openings. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The multi-compartment beverage container of claim 1, wherein the outer shell comprises an inner and outer wall to insulate beverages held within the outer shell. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The multi-compartment beverage container of claim 1, wherein the divider has dual wall construction to insulate each of the plurality of compartments from one another. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The multi-compartment beverage container of claim 1, wherein the conduit is tapered. ### Claim 8 A multi-compartment beverage container comprising: an outer shell forming a container for a plurality of beverages, the outer shell having a closed bottom and an open top; a dividing structure configured to divide an interior area of the outer shell into a plurality of compartments, each of the compartments configured to store at least one of the plurality of beverages; and a rotatable cap having an opening therein, wherein the opening is rotatable between a plurality of positions to align with each of the plurality of compartments to allow the at least one of the plurality of beverages stored therein to be consumed or dispensed therefrom. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The multi-compartment beverage container of claim 8 further comprising an inner cover enclosing the open top of the outer shell, the inner cover located below the opening of the cap and having a plurality of openings therein aligned with each of the plurality of compartments. ### Claim 10 (depends on 8) The multi-compartment beverage container of claim 8 further comprising a cover configured to seal the opening of the cap. ### Claim 11 (depends on 8) The multi-compartment beverage container of claim 8, wherein the outer shell comprises a plurality of windows to allow an interior of the plurality of compartments to be visible. ### Claim 12 (depends on 8) The multi-compartment beverage container of claim 8, wherein the divider is insulated. ### Claim 13 (depends on 8) The multi-compartment beverage container of claim 8, wherein the rotatable cap is removably fastened to the outer shell. ### Claim 14 (depends on 8) The multi-compartment beverage container of claim 8, wherein the dividing structure comprises a plurality of planer sections extending outward from a central section to engage the outer shell. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The multi-compartment beverage container of claim 14, wherein the dividing structure has at least three planar sections. ### Claim 16 A method of storing multiple beverages in a multi-compartment beverage container comprising: accepting a first beverage in a first compartment of the multi-compartment beverage container; accepting at least one second beverage in at least one second compartment of the multi-compartment beverage container, wherein the first compartment and the at least one second compartment are all within an outer shell of the multi-compartment beverage container; covering the top ends of the first compartment and the at least one second compartment with a rotatable cap; and rotating the rotatable cap to align an opening therein with the top end of the first compartment. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The method of claim 16 further comprising rotating the rotatable cap to misalign the opening therein to seal the first beverage and the at least one second beverage in the multi-compartment beverage container. ### Claim 18 (depends on 16) The method of claim 16 further comprising covering the opening of the rotatable cap. ### Claim 19 (depends on 16) The method of claim 16 further comprising dispensing the first beverage from the first compartment through the opening of the rotatable cap. ### Claim 20 (depends on 16) The method of claim 16 further comprising rotating the opening of the rotatable cap to at least one of the at least one second compartments and dispensing a second beverage contained therein through the opening.
