Answer by Trioxidane for Is it possible to design a bottle that can always be "full"?

Heavier than water

A frame challenge, though I've already upvoted many excellent straight answers here.

Sometimes fluids and/or gasses don't mix. This phenomenon is used in interesting ways. From using it to create different useful products from oil, like gas and gasoline, to special coffees and cocktails where different fluids do not mix, giving interesting layers to the drinks. There are many uses.

Potions can use this as well. Instead of watering down the potion, the potions might not so easily mix with certain fluids. Be they water, special oils or other. A layer on top of the potion can protect it against oxygen or other contaminants. If it isn't jostled, a small layer can be enough. If it is put through more rough handling on the road it can simply be filled, removing the contaminants out of the container.

The bottle would have designs to allow drinking of the bottom fluid first, which glass blowers already have ingenious glasses for. Otherwise it could be a special potion fluid, which will sit on top and can safely be drank.

The special potion fluid could also be tiny first, but small amounts turn into large amounts of gas, forcing all contaminants out as it expands. As you open the bottle the gas escapes, while you drink safely from the potion.
