Claim 18:
19. A mixing cup for attachment to a primary container containing a primary liquid, the mixing cup comprising:
a rigid main body that defines a secondary chamber for containing a secondary liquid;
a lid coupled to the main body for sealing the secondary liquid within the secondary chamber;
a mixing chamber integrated into the lid and in fluid communication with the primary container via a primary inlet and to the secondary chamber via a secondary inlet;
a flexible tube positioned within the secondary chamber and fluidly coupling the secondary chamber to the secondary inlet of the mixing chamber;
a flow control mechanism configured to adjust a ratio of fluids dispensed from the primary container and the secondary chamber, the flow control mechanism comprising an actuator, at least a portion of which is external to the secondary chamber, and a clamp positioned within the secondary chamber and operatively coupled to the flexible tube to selectively apply a clamping force to the flexible tube in response to manipulation of the actuator; and
a coupling interface on a side of the main body opposite the lid, wherein the coupling interface comprises a circumferential seal that seals a perimeter of an interstitial space between the primary and secondary containers when the primary and secondary containers are attached to one another.
