Topless drinking, in this particular case, is not quite as bold as it sounds - but nonetheless it provides a more enjoyable way to enjoy a drink than simply imbibing through a small hole in a can.
A team of creative beer enthusiasts has designed an easy, portable and fun way to enhance the can experience that also allows for a range of adaptions and sustainable repurposing of the humble aluminum vessel.
Essentially, the Draft Top Lift is an opener, but with a difference, able to take the entire 'lid' off a closed can with a twist, so you can then add your own twist: orange wedge, squeeze of lime, a mini bottle of spirits upended dramatically over the rim for a creative, rustic cocktail.
Of course, the Draft Top is not restricted to boozy beverages – and, let’s face it, some naturally flavored seltzers could do with some enhancement. Furthermore, drinking out of a can’s small opening restricts olfactory responses, which thereby impacts taste.
The pocket-sized gadget is designed to fit most cans, is easy to operate (secure over ring pull, twist, lift) and leaves a smooth rim around the can for safe drinking. It also has removable parts for cleaning and is dishwasher-safe.
Fancy one? The Lift is available for $24.99. Check out the video below to see the product in action...
