A beverage chiller device employing ice for keeping a chilled beverage cold in a serving pitcher without diluting the beverage with meltwater from the ice;

• the device comprising
• a lower hollow cylinder of a food-grade stainless steel, having an open upper end and a closed lower end;
• an upper sleeve of a food-grade rigid plastic resin having a lower end fitting over the open upper end of the lower hollow cylinder, and an upper end that is open to receive the ice;
• and
• a flexible strap removably attached onto said upper sleeve, said strap having at least one free end that can pass through a handle of the serving pitcher to attach the chiller device to the serving pitcher with the lower end of the lower cylinder immersed in the beverage and situated at a base of said pitcher;
• said flexible strap including means for forming the strap into a closed loop to secure the chiller device to the serving pitcher;
• said flexible strap being adapted to allow the chiller device to drop down to permit the lower hollow cylinder to reach the bottom of the pitcher so that the cooling effect of the device is maintained even when there is only a small amount of the beverage remaining in the pitcher.
