Abstract: An improved portable and hand-held beverage chilling device, having water utilized as a coolant that can be frozen between non-permanently sealed walls of the device, is intended for chilling and subsequent maintenance of a canned or bottled beverage at its coldest liquid state, while providing direct consumption from its container. The beverage cooler features two cylindrical receptacles that are enclosed on one end. These receptacles, called shells, are of different diameter and height such that the inner is placed within the outer and a coolant is contained in the spacial void created. A beer or soft drink container is inserted within a cavity defined by the inner shell, thereby facilitating cooling. A threaded circular cap, with a circular hole of comparable diameter to that of the inner shell, is assembled by hand to the top of the inner shell in a snap-on interlocking fashion. The cap is secured by hand to the outer shell by means of mutually mating threads.
