A bottle adapter is disclosed for accurate squirt dispensing of a drink. The bottle adapter comprises a coupler for removable attachment to a squeezable bottle. The coupler has a valve that is configured to remain closed until a predefined pressure difference is present across the valve, so that when the valve is opened, the liquid inside the container emerges in a stream and maintains a substantially straight trajectory for at least a predefined distance. A targeting orifice is positioned at the predefined distance from the valve so that the stream trajectory extends through the targeting orifice.

What is claimed is: 1. A bottle adapter for accurate squirt dispensing of a drink comprising: a coupler configured for removable attachment to a squeezable drink container; a valve disposed within the coupler, the valve configured to remain closed until a predefined pressure difference is present across the valve so that when the valve is opened a liquid within the squeezable drink container emerges in a stream and maintains a substantially straight trajectory over at least a predefined distance; and a targeting orifice mechanically connected to the coupler and positionable at the predefined distance from the valve and oriented so the stream trajectory extends through the targeting orifice substantially independently of the orientation of the squeezable drink container, wherein the targeting orifice comprises a riser, wherein the riser is flexible, and wherein the targeting orifice comprises a first locking element, and the coupler comprises a second locking element configured for removable engagement with the first locking element to hold the riser in a collapsed position. 2. The bottle adapter of claim 1, wherein the coupler comprises internal threads for mating to a threaded top of the squeezable drink container. 3. The bottle adapter of claim 1, wherein the valve comprises a silicone slit valve. 4. The bottle adapter of claim 1, wherein the targeting orifice is glow in the dark. 5. The bottle adapter of claim 1, wherein the riser is retractable into the coupler. 6. The bottle adapter of claim 1, wherein the targeting orifice comprises a ring. 7. A bottle adapter for accurate squirt dispensing of a drink comprising: a coupler configured for removable attachment to a squeezable drink container; a valve disposed within the coupler, the valve configured to remain closed until a predefined pressure difference is present across the valve so that when the valve is opened a liquid within the squeezable drink container emerges in a stream and maintains a substantially straight trajectory over at least a predefined distance; and a targeting orifice mechanically connected to the coupler and positionable at the predefined distance from the valve and oriented so the stream trajectory extends through the targeting orifice substantially independently of the orientation of the squeezable drink container, wherein the targeting orifice comprises a riser, wherein the riser is flexible, and wherein the targeting orifice comprises a first locking element, and the riser comprises a second locking element configured for removable engagement with the first locking element to hold the riser in a collapsed position. 8. The bottle adapter of claim 7, wherein the coupler comprises internal threads for mating to a threaded top of the squeezable drink container. 9. The bottle adapter of claim 7, wherein the valve comprises a silicone slit valve. 10. The bottle adapter of claim 7, wherein the targeting orifice is glow in the dark. 11. The bottle adapter of claim 7, wherein the targeting orifice comprises a ring. 12. The bottle adapter of claim 7, wherein the riser is retractable into the coupler. 13. A bottle adapter for accurate squirt dispensing of a drink comprising: a coupler configured for removable attachment to a squeezable drink container; a valve disposed within the coupler, the valve configured to remain closed until a predefined pressure difference is present across the valve so that when the valve is opened a liquid within the squeezable drink container emerges in a stream and maintains a substantially straight trajectory over at least a predefined distance; a targeting orifice mechanically connected to the coupler and positionable at the predefined distance from the valve and oriented so the stream trajectory extends through the targeting orifice substantially independently of the orientation of the squeezable drink container, wherein the targeting orifice comprises a riser, and wherein the targeting orifice further comprises an image and wherein the riser is flexible to provide a bobble head effect to the image; and a cap configured to engage with the coupler to hold the riser in a bent position so that when the cap is removed the riser springs up providing a jack in the box effect to the image. 14. The bottle adapter of claim 13, wherein the coupler comprises internal threads for mating to a threaded top of the squeezable drink container. 15. The bottle adapter of claim 13, wherein the valve comprises a silicone slit valve. 16. The bottle adapter of claim 13, wherein the targeting orifice is glow in the dark. 17. The bottle adapter of claim 13, wherein the targeting orifice comprises a ring. 18. The bottle adapter of claim 13, wherein the riser is retractable into the coupler. 19. A bottle adapter for accurate squirt dispensing of a drink comprising: a coupler configured for removable attachment to a squeezable drink container; a valve disposed within the coupler, the valve configured to remain closed until a predefined pressure difference is present across the valve so that when the valve is opened a liquid within the squeezable drink container emerges in a stream and maintains a substantially straight trajectory over at least a predefined distance; a riser mechanically connected to the coupler and retractable into the coupler; a targeting orifice mechanically connected to the riser and positionable at the predefined distance from the valve and oriented so the stream trajectory extends through the targeting orifice substantially independently of the orientation of the squeezable drink container. 20. The bottle adapter of claim 19, wherein the coupler comprises internal threads for mating to a threaded top of the squeezable drink container. 21. The bottle adapter of claim 19, wherein the valve comprises a silicone slit valve. 22. The bottle adapter of claim 19, wherein the targeting orifice is glow in the dark. 23. The bottle adapter of claim 19, wherein the targeting orifice comprises a ring.
