An aftermarket beverage holder for commercial beverage cans is adapted for mounting on the handlebars of a motorcycle or bicycle. A mounting bracket is adapted to be clamped on the handlebars. An open topped cylindrical can or container is mounted on the mounting bracket. The container is adapted for receiving a commercial beverage container such as a soda can. The container may be selectively mounted on or removed from the mounting bracket. An insulating liner is slightly larger than the beverage can for hugging the can and assuring that the can does not inadvertently become dislodged from the beverage holder. The system is designed such that the container can be selectively mounted on and removed from the mounting system without removing the beverage can from the container.
