Abstract

A cold can or bottle cooler dispenser for keeping cold and compactly transporting both homemade liquid refreshment and canned or bottled refreshments in separate compartments. A rotatable cowling having an opening which surrounds the mid-section of the cooler allows selection of the desired canned or bottled refreshment. Thus after the homemade liquid refreshment has been placed in the cooler, it need never thereafter be exposed either when loading the canned or bottled refreshments or when accessing either the canned or the homemade refreshments. Compartments are also provided for reusable substitute ice packs. A spigot on the outside of the cooler allows one to access the homemade liquid refreshment. Another embodiment of this invention can be used to retrofit or modify an existing cooler so that the modified cooler can now be used to carry both a home-made beverage and canned beverages with both beverages being kept conveniently segregated from one another.
