There are some other drink holders that I have tried that work for long runs. 
 The first that comes to mind is called a Camel Pack.  You can get them in 
many different varieties at sporting goods stores.  Mine holds 100 oz., has a 
filler large enough for icecubes, has a three foot tube with a bite-valve on 
the end, and fits in an insulated backpack that I drape over the back of my 
seat.  (Very similar to those hydration systems they use in NASCAR, Formula 
1, etc.).  I also take mine mountain biking and backpacking.  

The only problems with the camel packs are that you have to clean them every 
time you use them (especially if you fill it with something other than 
water), and I don't recommend sucking a hot beverage through the tube.  The 
backpack also makes a great storage space for small items you don't like 
floating around your car (flashlight, maps, firstaid kit, etc.).  Most times, 
I have to stop well before I need to refill the Camel Pack.

Just food for thought.
