A drinking container has a spinner mechanism that includes a spinner housing for providing a spinner chamber. A spinner disk fits securely within the spinner chamber when rotatably mounted therein. The spinner mechanism includes a fluid input through the chamber perimeter surface, and a fluid outlet for allowing the liquid out of the spinner chamber once it has contacted the spinner disk. A jet nozzle directs a liquid from the fluid input across top and bottom surfaces of the spinner disk. The spinner disk does not include paddles, but relies primarily on viscous and adhesive forces to transfer energy from the flowing liquid to the surface of the spinner disk.
