Drinks served in copper mugs give an ultimate cocktail experience because copper attracts an oxidation process that enhances the aroma and taste of the drink. This is especially true when it comes to Moscow mule mugs.
Moscow Mule is considered the signature drink served in copper cups. This also applies to Moscow Mule variations and other cold cocktails, especially those with lime or vodka ingredients.
Copper mugs are stylish and are the perfect drinkware for most ice-cold concoctions because they can efficiently maintain a drink’s temperature. Here are some great-tasting cocktail recipes that perfectly match with copper mugs.
