By analogy with "boost brick", a bottle is a small tank of liquid fuel/oxygen mix with an integral burner. These are mainly used for launching makeshift spacecraft, although some manufacturers are now producing bottles suitable for use as liquid-fuelled crunts. These are typically more expensive than solid fuel ones, and also more prone to accidents; but yield substantially more energy for the same mass.
