The cap includes a collar secured to the container and a top which is in two parts. The top is moveable between an open and a closed position. When the top is initially in the open position, a basket between the top and the liquid initially holds the material, which can be a powder or tablet. The top is initially closed to release the seal between the liquid and the material, the drink is shaken, and the top reopened for a passageway from the liquid to the exterior of the cap. A cover is releasably secured over the cap.
