A beverage container utilizing a cooling device for keeping a beverage cold over a protracted period of time, with such container having sidewalls and a bottom defining a volume in which a beverage can be contained. The cooling device is operatively associated with a lower interior portion of the container and involves a closed receptacle of a refreezable, non toxic substance. When the cooling device has become relatively warm, it is readily removable from contact with the lower interior portion of the container, so that it may be replaced by a freshly-chilled cooling device of like configuration, thus to keep the beverage at a desirably low temperature. We provide several different types of magnetic and mechanical devices for preventing the cooling device from being displaced when the pitcher is tilted to pour out some or all of its contents.
