The Moscow Mule is a classic cocktail that requires just a few ingredients: vodka, ginger beer, lime juice, and a Moscow Mule mug. That's right: The shiny mug that the cocktail is served in isn't just festive glassware—it's actually a crucial ingredient in making the spicy ginger drink. Copper, which Moscow Mule mugs are usually made from, is a thermal conductor, so it responds to the temperature of what's inside it and keeps it chilled. This regulates the temperature of your Moscow Mule so it doesn't get watered down by melting ice, allowing you to take your time and enjoy your drink (like this Spiced Apple Cider Pomegranate Moscow Mule from Ree Drummond's friend Heather Christo).
While traditional Moscow Mule mugs are 100% copper and are typically rounded with a handle, many brands have updated their takes on a Moscow Mule mug with trendy finishes and unusual shapes that make a fun addition to any bar cart. After you pick up a set of whatever mugs fit your style, try whipping up a cocktail at home: You'll feel like a professional with the right copper gear.
