I am one of those who will get the water bottle ready the night before the ride day, fill it up with my favourite beverage and leave it in the refrigerator. The only problem is that I only start drinking from it after about an hour into the ride and by then it has lost most of the chill.
This bottle by Camelbak promises to keep your water nice and cool when you are ready to rehydrate yourself.
This review on cyclingnews says the closed-cell double-walled construction of its new Podium Chill bottle will keep liquids cold for hours, even in high heat.

Hmm.... seems like not available in the stores yet.
I was in Singapore last weekend and the bike store that I went (Tay Junction) doesn't have it. Must be a new product. Gotta be patient or get someone in the states to buy it on behalf.
Sigh, it's not even on their offical website, and I don't think I can find any ppl selling it. Most have the normal podium bottle, but not the podium chill
you should test a POLAR BOTTLE made in usa
try the newly launched quiver aeropoint.50 sleeve using nasa aerogel. keeps cold up to 10 times longer. www.quiverstore.com or www.quiverblog.com. Out in time for christmas
Thank you, Ben, for your introduction of the Camelbak Podium ChillJacket Bottle. (I am from GATC, the distributor for Camelbak poructs in Malaysia)
Thanks also to everyone else for the comments on the writeup.
According to local users' feedback of the normal Podium bottle, the 24oz is preferred to the 21 oz capacity.
As the ChillJacket Podium only comes in 21oz we decided to monitor its popularity worldwide
before brinnging them in.
Evidently users are happy with them as Camelbak has increased the colors available from 3 to 8
Coincidentally, we had ordered a batch of them and was surfing the net for reviews, when we came upon your blog, Ben.
The bottles will be available in Malaysia within the 1st quarter of 2010.
