Does anybody know what this Liverpool player is drinking from? They only showed a very brief shot of this during an injury pause after this player scored the first goal of the match.

Possibly two conventional cups held in exact alignment. Note the twin highlights on the cup(s) below the players hands.
 
Well, this is interesting. I did a Google Images search on LIverpool soccer water bottles and got this hit:

And this appears to be the manufacturer's page:

It's a little hard to tell, but it kind of looks like the little chin shelf is meant to help players gauge how close to get the bottle to their mouth without actually touching the dispenser tip with their lips:
