A drinking vessel providing for both drinking directly therefrom and holding a cup comprising: a vessel; outwardly projecting first and second band-like flanges about the uppermost and lowermost portions of the outside wall of said vessel, respectively; a first rolled over lip projecting from the topmost portion of said first flange; a second rolled over lip projecting from the lowermost portion of said second flange; a handle rigidly attached to the outside wall of said vessel; means defining a cylindrical chamber at one end of said vessel, said chamber having a bottom; means defining a cylindrical cavity at the other end of said vessel that is on the other side of said bottom, said cavity having an axis; a cap including interior juxtaposed uppermost and lowermost parallel circumferential grooves, separated by a circumferential rib therebetween, said lowermost groove serving to snap lock onto said first lip for securing said cap to the top of said vessel, said rib limiting the extent said cap can be pushed down upon the top of said vessel, the combination of said rib, and the area provided by said uppermost groove, protecting a lip or top portion of a cup mounted within said chamber; said cap serving as a coaster via said lowermost groove being snap locked over said second lip, for securing said cap to the bottom of said vessel; said cap including on its top surface means defining a hole for receiving a straw therethrough so that it can pass into said chamber, and sealing means for effectively sealing said through hole when not in use; an insert dimensioned so as to fit in the portion of said chamber adjacent the bottom of said chamber and snugly fit the bottom of a cup mounted thereon. said insert having a web, a flange extending from one side of said web and finger-like projections extending from the other side of said web, the outer surfaces of said projections being cylindrical about an axis; means defining circumferential arcuate ridges extending from the wall of said cavity, said ridges being spaced so as to permit said projections to be respectively inserted between them when the axis of said insert coincides with the axis of said cavity and is in a first rotational position; and means defining circumferential grooves in the outer surfaces of said projections that can engage said arcuate ridges and retain said insert in said cavity when the insert is in a second rotational position.
