Fresh lime? Check. Quality bottle of vodka? Check. Artisanal ginger beer? Check. You wouldn’t skimp on buying the best ingredients when it comes to making a co*cktail, and the same should be true for your barware. Aesthetics aside, we’re of the camp that a copper Moscow Mule mug not only looks good hanging from a hook in your kitchen, but also make your drink taste better — even if it’s only your brain playing tricks on you.
While there’s no scientific evidence stating that copper has some magical reaction with the ingredients in this beloved co*cktail, making it taste better than it already does (damn near impossible, if you ask us), you’d be hard-pressed to deny the complete gratification of grabbing the handle of an icy, sweaty copper mug and drinking from it on a hot day. We’re craving a Mule (or two) just thinking about it.
So without further ado, here are a few of our favorite mugs currently on the market:
As handsome as they are functional, this set of two hammered Moscow Mule mugs is a must. The copper-plated exterior is a playful twist on the traditional and the interior made with restaurant-grade stainless steel, creating the ultimate accessory for crafting elegant (and safe) co*cktails.
