A rigid container for liquids having an integrated dispenser is disclosed. The dispenser adapted to be received within an opening formed in the bottom of the container. The dispenser has a body which includes first and second flanges extending away from the body. These flanges define an annular outer recess therebetween which is adapted to receive a portion of said container wall. The dispenser body is supported within the container bottom opening such that the outer flange abuts an outer surface of the container wall and the inner flange abuts an inner surface of the wall. The dispenser also includes a thin, breakable membrane which extends across a recess formed in an inner portion of the dispenser body. The breakable membrane initially seals the container opening when the dispenser is positioned in the container wall. The breakable membrane is broken when a dispensing key is inserted within the dispenser inner recess. The breakable membrane may include a ring located adjacent its outer peripheral edge. The ring has a reduced thickness as compared to the thickness of the remaining portion of the breakable membrane for assisting the dispensing key in rupturing the membrane.
