Topeak makes one that's advertised as fitting bottles from 1 to 1.5 liters. The QBP part number is WC1700 so any LBS should be able to get one for you.

Do you have to stop to drink out of that? It looks like an inconvenient two handed operation.

I gave up on carrying large bottles in cages a long time ago. I tried a number of cages with extra-tall bottles and regularly stopped to pick up bottles--and this wasn't even while riding off-road, it was just hitting bumps in paved streets.

Also..... the aluminum bottles dent when they hit the ground, where the plastic bottles just bounce around a bit and are still good.

The Topeak one goes under the name of Modula X. I have it on my MTB. It is adjustable in length for various height bottles. It has a rubber band as a collar to prevent bottles from coming out, and the bike has been over some serously rough roads at speed. Even with the band not in place, I haven't had a bottle fall out.

However, the plastic adjusting screw at the top of the frame does tend to vibrate enough that it contacts the downtube. Judicious placement of a rubber strip or some electrical insulation tape helps stop the noise and rubbing away of the paintwork.
