Abstract
Glassware such as wine glasses and pint glasses can include a support element configured to support a bottle such as a miniature liquor bottle or a beer bottle in an upside-down or inverted configuration, such that a mouth of the bottle is within the glassware. The support element can be integrally formed with the rest of the glassware. The glassware can be filled with a first beverage and the bottle can be filled with a second beverage and supported on the support element such that the second beverage automatically mixes with the first beverage as the first beverage is consumed.
