Classic Mule Mugs
Just what we were looking for.
Just what we were looking for.
I haven’t given them as a gift yet, but soon. I was happy with appearance and engraving, but like another person whose review I read, I’m disappointed with the weight. I expected them to be thicker and heavier. I ordered personal engraving , though, so I’m stuck with that, which was the problem, this is the only place I could find that offered engraving in Solid Copper cups. The order was filled speedily.
Thank you for your feedback. Many people are surprised by the weight of solid copper because it’s easy to assume it should feel similar to stainless steel. Copper actually serves a different purpose. Its job is to quickly transfer the cold from your drink to the outside of the mug, creating that frosty, chilled effect. A thick copper wall isn’t needed to achieve this, since copper is an exceptional thermal conductor.
Stainless steel, on the other hand, is a much stronger and more rigid metal but a poor thermal conductor, which is why stainless products often require added insulation or thicker walls.
Copper is naturally delicate, softer and more malleable, so there’s a balance between durability and maintaining the effectiveness of its temperature transfer. We use a heavier gauge copper than many manufacturers while still keeping the mug at a comfortable, practical weight.
We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. If you have any other questions about the materials or craftsmanship, we’re always happy to help.
Very shiny, and beautiful design. Have not made any drinks yet, but I paced 2 more orders to give as Christmas gifs. Love them. Thank you.
After purchasing other brands and wasting my money found theses and they are great.
While I'm admittedly not a mule drinker, these are our perfect everyday cups. Beautifully crafted with a classic yet elegant style we will enjoy for years to come!
Gift Set of Two Original Moscow Mule Mugs
Raise a Toast to Classic Cocktails
You have the option to add custom engraving to the mugs. Engraving is the personalization method of choice for long-lasting elegance; unlike printing, the script will never fade. Commemorate a special date or occasion and these heirloom-quality mugs will serve as a memento for years—and generations—to come.
Our Moscow Mule mugs are made just the way our founder’s great grandmother (and the original creator of the Moscow Mule mug), Sophie Berezinski, would have wanted.
Our story starts in 1941, when Sophie Berezinski (the great-grandmother of our founder) came to the United States with 2,000 solid copper mugs that she helped design with her father. She had a serendipitous meeting with the owner of the Cock ‘n’ Bull pub in Los Angeles and the original importer of Smirnoff Vodka. Together, they perfected the recipe for the original Moscow Mule, served in the copper mugs that would keep the cocktail bracingly cold and become their signature.
