Abstract: An apparatus for chilling a beverage container includes a motor housing having an electric motor. A receiving member is coupled to the motor and is rotated when the motor is actuated. A beverage container may be removably coupled to the receiving member such that the beverage container may be rotated/spun when the motor is actuated. The apparatus may also include a base unit that defines a reservoir configured to receive the beverage container and ice. The base unit includes a lid that is spring biased toward a closed configuration. The motor housing with beverage container coupled thereto may be situated such that the beverage container is received in the base unit reservoir. Ice may be poured over the container and the lid moved to apply pressure therebetween. Activating the motor causes a thermal transfer that melts the ice as the container spins and the beverage within the container is chilled.
