Abstract
The disclosed device is a multi-compartment container. Each compartment is capable of holding a different liquid. The user actuates a valve to dispense the liquid of his or her choice. The multi-compartment pitcher with selectable dispensing port eliminates spillage from the top, and eliminates fumbling over multiple and various drinks or liquids. The device compartmentalizes multiple drinks or liquids within a single container, while easily dispersing the drink or liquid from the designated bottom port.
