## Abstract

A reusable cup lid may be configured for attachment to a beverage container. The cup lid may define a body housing a battery, motor and fan operably connected. A removable cover may include a control circuit with an LED display operably connected to settings and programming buttons. The cup lid may include a drinking port and a venting channel. A charging/external power port may provide for connection directly to an external power source for charging or powering the cup lid. An attachment member may be mounted on the rim of a cup providing a watertight seal. The cup lid may be removably connected to the attachment member.
