A vessel comprising: a sheet of flexible material, cut, rolled, and affixed to form a frusto-conically shaped base region, the base region having a bottom edge, wherein the sheet, when thus rolled, also includes an upper region having two opposing flaps, each flap delineated from a remaining portion of the sheet by a path along which the sheet is scored, so that the flaps, when folded along their respective paths, define (i) a vent portion having a first height above the bottom edge of the base region and an aperture that vents air into the vessel, and (ii) a single elevated drinking portion having a drinking spout formed between an extension of the base region and at least one of the two flaps, wherein: the drinking spout includes a slot having an areal dimension that is substantially greater than an areal dimension of the aperture; and the drinking portion has a second height, above the bottom edge of the base region, that is greater than the first height.
