    you could use a clean screwdriver to pop the plastic pouring cap off.

    @Max the handle of a sturdy teaspoon is what I normally use

You shouldn't have to open it. That's a slow-pouring cap, you should just be able to pour out of it. If you can't, that's because it's broken somehow.

    FuzzyChef is correct. But those things annoy me too. They are not designed to be taken out. I have done what @Max mentioned but you do risk getting shards of plastic in your bottle. So you may need a strainer, bowl and funnel once you have broken the slow pouring cap out of the bottle.

  • usually the plastic thingamabob just pops out. (obviously, if I feel it does not, I will not risk breaking the bottle)

  • rip it out with needle nose pliers if you don't want it :)

  • @SteveChambers I've mainly come across these in vinegar, oil etc. rather than alcohol, but they're normal rather soft plastic that shouldn't break and would take a lot of force to tear.

  • @ChrisH the ones in alcohol bottles are usually made from a hard brittle plastic. No idea why.
