A reusable handle for manipulating a plastic soft drink bottle. The handle has a hook-like projection on one end adapted to clamp to the neck of the bottle and an arcuate loop at its opposite end insertable about an integral prong extending downwardly from the base of the bottle to secure the handle to the bottle. The intermediate portion of the handle between the hook-like projection and looped end comprises an elongated strap of a rigidified cross-section running adjacent to and along the exterior wall of the bottle. The central portion of the strap is provided with a vertical loop defining a finger grip so that the handle and bottle can be lifted and manipulated to pour the contents of the bottle.
