If your hand is ~90 degrees from body heat, then holding an iced drink will make it colder. The air temperature will also make your hand colder. If the answer was warmer, where is the energy coming from?

I'm not saying the answer is warmer, but what about the fact that the iced coffee is warmer than the air temperature outside?

Your hand is warmer than both.
