Abstract
A drink caddy includes a cradle having a beveled inner surface to mate with a drink glass. The cradle has an open section and a circular arc shape. An upward-extending stem includes a bend allowing attachment to an offset location of the cradle. A handle is positioned at the upper end of the stem. The stem is bent sufficiently to place the handle above the center of gravity of a glass held by the cradle. The drink caddy may have two cradles offset to the side for carrying two glasses. The cradle, stem, and handle can be made from plastic, metal, or wood materials. An alternate embodiment includes internal lighting and clear acrylic construction to illuminate portions of the caddy.
