(Food-Beverage-News.Com, August 13, 2015 ) Scottsdale , Arizona -- An awesome and unforgettable cocktail is more than alcohol swished together with mixers and flavors. A truly great cocktail should heighten the senses with exquisite flavors, aromas, and presentation. Drinks bring a sense of camaraderie with laughter, storytelling, and fun. Any cocktail worth drinking should have its own story and personality.
The Moscow Mule is a standout among vodka cocktails. Make the cocktail with fizzy ginger beer, pungent lime juice, and serve in a copper mug. This drink fits on the list of classic American drinks like no other cocktail around. Using high-quality vodka, a great brand of ginger beer and premium lime juice is certainly important, but the drink is not the same unless until served in a Moscow Mule copper mug.
Fans of the drink say, "Not quite as tasty in paper cups as in a copper mug, but still a pretty awesome cocktail."
Moscow mules first appeared in the early 1940s, and copper mugs were always the vessel for proper presentation. The question is still asked, is copper really better? For traditionalists, there is no question that the Moscow Mule be served in a copper cup. Even suggesting that glass or any other type of drinking glass be used is blasphemous.
Science proves that using copper cups for the Moscow mule brings out the best temperature. Drinks served in authentic copper cups offer an extra cool sensation. The metal quickly takes on the icy temperature of the drink. The rim of the mug becomes chilly almost instantly and drinkers will find that it offers a different sensation to their lips. The handle of the mug keeps the drink at the perfect temperature by keeping the heat of the drinker's hands away from the mug.
Copper is essential for the experience of drinking the Moscow Mule. These cocktails cannot be served without out their traditional mugs. Just like a martini cannot be served unless it is in the classic stemmed glass.
Science, drinkers, and fans say a resounding "yes" when asked if copper mugs are best for the Moscow Mule. Copper mugs are hands down the best choice for mixing the Moscow Mule. People are also finding them as a great way to serve other icy cold cocktails "I'm not a Vodka guy, but these good lookin' little guys (copper mugs) know how to keep my Bourbon/sodas quite comfortable. Need to pick up a set of hammered looking ones next, keep the collection going." Says Joey, an elated fan of the copper mug.

About Copper Mules
Being huge fans of the Moscow Mule, the Dalton's were getting tired of drinking them from mugs that were nickel-lined, not 100% copper or had been lacquered both inside and out which defeated the purpose of using them.
They decided to get back to the 'roots' of the classic cocktail and make Moscow Mule mugs the way they were meant to be... Solid, sturdy and with exposed copper on the inside of the mug to enhance the experience.
Copper Mules is owned by the Dalton family and is located on the outskirts of Scottsdale, Arizona. The Dalton's are dedicated to bringing the true experience of the Moscow Mule back to the consumer.
