The beverage cooling device of the present invention comprises an ice receptacle having an ice compartment therein and having an open upper end. An electric motor having an outlet shaft thereon is mounted in a track on the exterior of one of the walls of the receptacle and is free to move upwardly and downwardly within the track. The output shaft extends through a shaft opening in the side wall of the ice receptacle, and includes a suction cup for detachably grasping the container for the beverage. Actuation of the electric motor causes the beverage container to rotate and to frictionally engage ice within the ice receptacle.
