Claim 9:
10. A beverage container carrier comprising:
a cylindrical vessel receiver having a left side, a right side, a front side, a backside, an interior surface, an exterior surface, a bottom panel, and an open-top rim for receiving a beverage container;
a handle slot is integrally formed in the front side of the cylindrical vessel receiver, the handle slot is open proximate to the open-top rim for receiving the beverage container handle, wherein handle of the beverage container slides into the handle slot when the beverage container is inserted into the cylindrical vessel receiver;
one or more tension tab having an interior tab surface and an exterior tab surface, the one or more tension tab is integrally formed along an attachment edge proximate to the open-top rim of the cylindrical vessel receiver, the one or more tension tab is sized to create an air gap between the cylindrical vessel receiver and sides and bottom of the one or more tension tab allowing the one or more tension tab to flex outward; and
one or more tension fin having a top fin end and a bottom fin end are integrally formed on the interior tab surface of the one or more tension tab, the one or more tension fin is curvilinear in shape and wider at the bottom fin end with a taper at the top fin end that terminates at the interior surface of the cylindrical vessel receiver, wherein when a beverage container is inserted into the cylindrical vessel receiver it contacts the one or more tension fin, the one or more tension fin and the one or more tension tab flex outward creating space within the cylindrical vessel receiver for the beverage container and applying retaining pressure to the beverage container holding it securely within the cylindrical vessel receiver.
