Brooklyn, New York 11207

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     We have acted as counsel for Bev-Tyme, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("Company"), in connection with a Registration Statement on Form S-8
("Registration Statement") being filed contemporaneously herewith by the Company
with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act"), covering an aggregate of 450,000 shares of the
Company's Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, $.0001 par value ("Preferred
Stock").

     In that connection, we have examined the Certificate of Incorporation, as
amended, and the By-Laws of the Company, the Registration Statement, the
Consulting Agreement dated September 25, 1997 between the Company and Khosrow
Foroughi and corporate proceedings of the Company relating to the issuance of
the Preferred Stock, and such other instruments and documents as we have deemed
relevant under the circumstances.

     In making the aforesaid examinations, we have assumed the genuineness of
all signatures and the conformity to original documents of all copies furnished
to us as original or photostatic copies. We have also assumed that the corporate
records of the Company include all corporate proceedings taken by the Company to
date.

     Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the
Preferred Stock when issued in accordance with the terms of the Consulting
Agreement will be duly and validly authorized and issued and fully paid and
non-assessable.

     We hereby consent to the use of this opinion as herein set forth as an
exhibit to the Registration Statement.

                                      Very truly yours,

                                      BERNSTEIN & WASSERMAN, LLP
