Copper Mug FAQ
While there are a number of options for cocktails, many of glass, copper truly is the cocktail-cup royalty when it comes to the mule. Not only is it perfectly suited to keep the temp of your chilly, bubbly Moscow Mule, but copper is a natural substance and is highly durable to everyday impacts and the inevitable effects of time. Ultimately, its conductivity makes it an ideal choice for cold beverages with complex combinations of flavors–like the Moscow Mule!
Technically speaking, you can drink anything (within reason!) in a copper mug. However, you should NOT drink hot liquids from a copper mug–or anything made of pure copper. Copper is very conductive, which helps it keep cold beverages cold, but would make the mug dangerously hot to the touch if it contained a hot drink. Keep it iced, stay cool.
Copper Mugs are perfect for chilled cocktails, but are not insulated for warm drinks.
Yes. However, it is more accurate to say that copper mugs are not unhealthy to drink from. They do provide some level of resistance to bacterial build-up but should be washed regularly (like anything else you eat or drink from).
A Moscow Mule does not have to be in a copper mug–that is, unless you want to do it right. A true Moscow Mule will come in a copper mug not only because it was originally served this way, but also because the temperature-conserving properties and other qualities of copper enhance the bubbly, spicy, refreshing experience of a Moscow Mule.
