Abstract
A device for floating one liquid on top of another for special effects in mixing drinks and the like includes a funnel-like upper cup portion with a large, upper end or opening to receive liquids and a smaller, lower end attached to and surrounding a shaft portion. Relatively small openings are provided between the lower end of the funnel-like cup portion and the shaft portion to allow a liquid to escape from the funnel-like cup portion, at a relatively slow rate, and run down the sides of the shaft. When the lower end of the shaft portion is immersed in another liquid, the liquid flowing down the sides of the shaft will meet and spread out over the surface of the other liquid, if the one liquid is less dense than the other liquid.
