I got my Portland Design Works Bar-Ista cup holder from Mountain Equipment Co-Op. There is free shipping till December 7.
Installation is straight forward. Just fit it over the handlebar and tighten it with a 4mm allen (hex) key. I set mine in front of the handlebar. Mounting it the other way takes up precious real estate that makes hopping on and off the bike weird.
I picked up a Eco2 cup at Walmart. I trimmed the band so it can sit lower in the holder. Now I can ride with a hot cup of Ovaltine (I love that stuff). Just in time too. It's getting pretty cold these days.
UPDATE DECEMBER 1, 2011: This setup works great. The cup never flew out, and it keeps my drink hot/warm. Just make sure the cup is screwed on, and the flap is closed. Occasionally, a bit of Ovaltine manages to splash out when I hit a bump at speed.
