Abstract
A container for holding consumable liquids for commercial food service (e.g., bar service) has a body that defines an inner cavity and has a neck extending to an opening. The neck of the container defines a first thread adapted to receive a cap to seal the cavity. The container also defines a second thread, of a diameter larger than the first thread, adapted to mate directly with a thread of a standard threaded pour spout to retain the pour spout on the container for serving liquids from the container cavity. The container is sized to fit within standard bar service speed racks and can be heat-sealed to contain perishable liquids, such as fruit juice or drink mixes.
