Hi... by what you quote I feel that your kid is extremely sensitive to cold because of peripheral vasoconstriction while exposure to cold drink a bottle.
But I can say that this is very unusual.
If you observe that in winter, even the tips of the fingers are turning blue then I suggest you consider evaluating him with your pediatrician.
This could be a Raynaud phenomena.
