The present invention concerns a beverage dispensing system for providing a multi-layered beverage is disclosed. The beverage dispensing system is adapted to prepare a plurality of beverages of different densities within a plurality of ingredients container. The beverage dispensing system separately and sequentially dispenses a lower density beverage prior to dispensing a higher density beverage. The beverages are dispensed via a delivery tube which is disposed proximally to an internal base of a drinks receptacle. Furthermore an ingredients container is disclosed. Furthermore a method for the manufacture of the multi-layered beverage is disclosed.

1. A beverage dispensing system comprising: a plurality of ingredients containers each comprising (i) a valve,(ii) a beverage concentrate, and(iii) an ingredient identification identifying a relative density of the beverage concentrate,each of the plurality of ingredients containers configured to be inserted in a predetermined discrete cavity of the beverage dispensing system and further configured to dispense a beverage; andan electronic control board programmed to automatically determine, based on reading of the ingredient identification, an amount of a liquid to add to each one of the plurality of ingredients containers so that a first ingredients container of the plurality of ingredients containers dispenses a first beverage with a lower density than a second beverage formed in a second ingredients container, the control board comprising a program for controlling an opening and a closing of the valve of the first ingredients container, and a memory for storing a recipe as a sequence of ingredient dispensing,wherein the electronic control board is programmed to actuate the opening and the closing of the valve of the first ingredients container to dispense separately and sequentially the first beverage prior to dispensing the second beverage, the system further comprising a delivery tube comprising a dispensing end, the dispensing end is placed adjacent to an internal surface of a bottom of a drinks receptacle, such that each beverage from each of the plurality of ingredients containers delivered to the drinks receptacle through the delivery tube is delivered to the bottom of the drinks receptacle towards the top of the receptacle without turbulences or splashes. 2. The beverage dispensing system according to claim 1, comprising a support member adapted to selectively engage the plurality of ingredients containers. 3. The beverage dispensing system according to claim 1, wherein the ingredient identification includes a position of each of the plurality of ingredients containers in a respective container cavity of the system, relative to the position of each of the other of the plurality of ingredients containers. 4. The beverage dispensing system according to claim 1, further comprising a code reader, wherein the ingredient identification is a code readable by the code reader, the code selected from the group consisting of: a two-dimensional barcode, a three-dimensional barcode, a color code, a mechanical code, and combinations thereof. 5. The beverage dispensing system according to claim 1, wherein each ingredient is selected from the group consisting of: a juice, a diluted syrup, a dilutable concentrate, an infusion, a liquid coffee, and combinations thereof. 6. The beverage dispensing system according to claim 5, wherein the beverage dispensing system further comprises a liquid supply configured to provide the liquid to at least one of the plurality of ingredients container, and wherein the dilutable concentrate is in a form selected from the group consisting of: a powder dilutable concentrate, a liquid dilutable concentrate, a gel-type dilutable concentrate, a paste-type dilutable concentrate, and the dilutable concentrate forms a beverage of a predetermined density when diluted with the liquid. 7. The beverage dispensing system according to claim 1, wherein each of the plurality of ingredient containers is selected from the group consisting of: a pouch, a sachet, a capsule, a refillable ingredient chamber built-in the system, and combinations thereof. 8. The beverage dispensing system according to claim 1, wherein the delivery tube is attachable to the support member. 9. The beverage dispensing system according to claim 1, wherein the delivery tube has an internal diameter of 4 mm to 6 mm. 10. The beverage dispensing system according to claim 1, wherein the delivery tube is removable from the support member. 11. The beverage dispensing system according to claim 1, wherein the liquid is selected from the group consisting of: water, an alcoholic based liquid and any combination thereof. 12. The beverage dispensing system according to claim 1, wherein the delivery tube is attachable to the plurality of ingredients containers. 13. The beverage dispensing system according to claim 1, wherein the delivery tube is removable from the plurality of ingredients containers.
