According to various aspects, exemplary embodiments are provided of multi-bottle containers and apparatus for dispensing liquids. In an exemplary embodiment, a container includes a first bottle and a second bottle coupled to the first bottle. The first bottle has a first reservoir for holding a first liquid and a first opening for dispensing the first liquid from within the first reservoir. The second bottle has a second reservoir for holding a second liquid and a second opening for dispensing the second liquid from within the second reservoir.
