Amp-mounted beer/drink holders?

Let’s see some pictures/links if you’re using anything that mounts to your amp/cab!

I use gator roto-style head cases, which are light weight but not flat on top. Looking for easy ways to keep a beer on my amp during shows without worrying about it tipping over or slowly creeping off the edge of the amp due to vibration. Also trying to do away with having a drink on the floor that I might kick over or soak my pedalboard with…

Whatcha got?

Played a show with The Blasters once and John Bazz had a bottle opener screwed into the top of his P-Bass.

Can't find a pic of Bazz's bass, but here's the idea:

Get a mic stand just for your swirlygig!
I keep a round base mic stand just for attaching stuff too. Even if I’m singing, my tablet, plus a drink holder and small shelf are mounted on it.

I actually bought it to mount my Rolls headphone amp on. I just realized afterwards that I preferred using it for everything else as well.

Why would you do this?
Beverages and electronics don't mix :crying:

1) Because beer and riffs have a long, harmonious history together.
2) The whole point is to secure drinks so they are less likely to spill.
3) I do not possess the qualities of a camel. Therefore, I like some sort of beverage to sip on throughout a set.
 
At risk of sounding like a dick, I didn't ask if people think I should have liquids near my equipment. I'm asking what people use to secure drinks when they're 'living on the edge' and sipping something on stage.

Appreciate the suggestions and links so far!
I was only referring to my amp, not yours.
