The present invention 10 discloses a device having a generally upright standing straw or tube member 18 having an aperture 26 therein which runs the full length of the tube 18 therein. The tube 18 has a bottom base plate 20 located on its lower end which is attached to the tube 18 and supported by brace members 22 near the bottom of the tube 18. The aperture 26 of the tube 18 extends through the base plate 20. The base plate 20 is equipped with numerous protrusions 30 on its underside which are used to crush and extract juice and pulp from slices of fruit 14 in the drink mixture 16. The present invention is also equipped with longitudinal vertical slots or apertures 28 located between the multiple buttresses 22 which slots 28 serve as means to prevent the tube or straw 18 from becoming clogged with pulp or sealed to the drink vessel by providing additional ingress into the tube 18.
