I live in sunny South Florida and it gets hot here but the cup-holder cover is always open while driving and it never gets warm in there. I put a layer of Dynamat Extreme under the cupholder, and made no significant difference.

How about putting a peltier cooler in there to chill it down? Or maybe take one out of those electronic coolers and rig it. I've seen single-cup/can chillers that may be made to fit in there if there is room.
