Fact #1. The Moscow Mule has a history as intriguing as its flavor. The head of an American producer and distributor of alcohol purchased Smirnoff Vodka in 1938. He found himself with more of the product on his hands than he could push. A good friend of his, the owner of a bar in Los Angeles, had a similar problem. He had created his own brand of ginger beer, but couldn't find a way to sell it. His head bartender took the issue of the overstocked ginger beer and vodka into his own hands and created what would come to be known as the Moscow Mule.
Fact #2. If you've been pouring your Moscow Mules into regular mugs or drinking cups, then you've been missing out on the full experience. There's a reason there is a special drinking vessel for every alcoholic beverage, like pint glasses for beer and martini glasses for martinis. There are very specific purposes behind the shape and design. Each of them is designed to bring out the particular flavors and qualities of each drink.
Fact #3. Moscow Mule mugs are made from copper, the properties of which allow the drink to stay cooler longer than glass does. Unlike other materials that might transfer their warmer temperature to the liquid, copper is quickly chilled by cold fluids.
Fact #4. Another important aspect of the drink is the lime. Copper is known to interact with the fruit in a way that makes it taste better. Copper reduces the acidity of lime. This helps it blend in better with the other ingredients. Copper can also enhance the flavor and aroma of the vodka.
Fact #5. Make sure your Moscow Mule Mug has an easy-to-grip handle. Some have a unique ergonomic shape that lets your fingers get a secure grip on them. Another feature that can prevent you from spilling your precious cocktail is a wide, flat base. A rounded lip can also act as a spill buffer.
