The Moscow Mule and its myriad variants are closely associated with mugs made of solid copper just as closely as wine is associated with the wine glass. For Mules, there's just no other vehicle for serving them. But that doesn't mean a copper mug won't also do a bang-up job playing host to another type of drink such as...

Non-Alcoholic Beverages to Try in a Copper Mug

Iced Coffee

Most folks use anything available to hold their morning iced coffee including regular coffee cups and mugs and standard drinking glasses. But we're here to tell you that you haven't experienced iced coffee until you've had it in a custom copper mug from Paykoc Imports. Whether you like your iced coffee black, with lots of cream and lots of sugar or somewhere in the middle your morning coffee ritual is going to take on a new sense of gravitas and satisfaction when your coffee is served in a copper Mule mug.

A Chocolate Milkshake

Let's back off from morning cocktails and look at something more wholesome that everyone can enjoy. A chocolate milkshake in a copper cup is a great way to top off your day. They're super easy to make by just mixing chocolate ice cream (or vanilla ice cream and chocolate syrup) and a little milk in the blender. If you've got an uncontrollable urge to satisfy your sweet tooth add some whipped cream and sprinkles on top. It's the chocolate shake reimagined in a custom copper mug.

A Smoothie

While we're on a wholesome run here, how about using a copper cup to hold a smoothie? This can be any type of smoothie that tickles your fancy. If it's hot outside and you need to cool down make a refreshing watermelon or pineapple smoothie. If you're into weight lifting and need to boost your protein and caloric intake make the ultimate muscle gain smoothie by combining protein powder, fresh fruit, 3 or 4 raw eggs, peanut butter and whole milk in your blender and then serving it in a beautiful copper cup from Paykoc.

Iced Tea

Iced tea is the perfect summer refreshment made even better when served in beautiful copper cups from Paykoc Imports. Imagine the look of surprise on the faces of your guests when you serve your special iced tea in these timeless copper mugs. They'll be bowled over not just by the taste, but by the amount of imagination and moxy you demonstrated breaking with the traditional iced tea glass to embrace something more compelling, and with a handle to boot! Your warm weather get-togethers will never be the same when you serve your iced tea in our stunning copper cups.

Cocktails to Try in a Copper Mug

A Bloody Mary

Maybe you prefer something with a bit more bite than the non-alcoholic options above. Fear not! A copper Mule mug is also the perfect vehicle for enjoying a Bloody Mary with your morning paper (hey, it's your life). Even if you like your Bloody Marys in the evening a copper cup is still an ideal delivery vector. There are so many ways to enjoy a Bloody Mary in a copper mug: aesthetically (the reddish tones of the drink accentuate the copper color of the mug), from a sheer enjoyment perspective (the copper mug is going to keep your Bloody Mary icy cold) and practically (you'll be glad the handle is there if you've gotten to know Mary a little too well).

Ingredients

• 2 oz vodka
• 4 oz tomato juice
• 1/2 oz lemon juice
• 2 dashes Worcestershire sauce
• 2 dashes hot sauce
• Pinch of celery salt
• Pinch of black pepper
• Ice cubes
• Celery stalk and lemon wedge for garnish

How It's Made

1. Fill a copper mug with ice cubes.
2. Add vodka, tomato juice, and lemon juice.
3. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, celery salt, and black pepper.
4. Stir well to combine.
5. Garnish with a celery stalk and a lemon wedge. Serve immediately.

The Margarita

While he may have spent much of his life wasted away in Margaritaville, we're reasonably certain pop icon Jimmy Buffet never experienced his favorite cocktail out of a copper cup. Too bad because it is a seriously tasty treat made all the more special by the beauty and balance of these expertly crafted copper mugs. We're sure Jimmy would have appreciated how the copper keeps the ice in its frozen state longer and the fact that the handle helps ensure that you don't spill your drink while searching for your lost shaker of salt.

Ingredients

• 2 oz tequila
• 1 oz triple sec
• 1 oz lime juice
• Salt (for rimming the copper mug)
• Ice cubes
• Lime wedge (for garnish)

How It's Made

1. Run a lime wedge around the rim of the Moscow Mule mug and dip it into salt to coat.
2. Fill the copper mug with ice cubes.
3. In a shaker, combine tequila, triple sec, and lime juice with ice. Shake well.
4. Strain the mixture into the copper mug.
5. Garnish with a lime wedge and serve.

A Mint Julep

Some people will argue that a mint julep should always be served in a pewter cup, but we disagree. The whole pewter cup thing was never etched in stone and the fact is most people serve mint juleps in whatever kind of glass they have available. So with that in mind, we'd argue that you should order some Mule mugs from Paykoc Imports - or better yet custom copper mugs with the engraving of your choice on them - so that you have them on hand the next time you plan on serving mint juleps. And because the ice won't melt so quickly in a frosty copper cup you and your guests will be able to savor the bourbon, mint, and simple syrup that much longer.

Ingredients

• 2 oz bourbon
• 1/2 oz simple syrup
• Fresh mint leaves
• Crushed ice
• Lime wedge (optional, for garnish)

How It's Made

1. Muddle 5-6 fresh mint leaves with the simple syrup at the bottom of a copper mule mug.
2. Fill the copper mug halfway with crushed ice.
3. Add bourbon and gently stir to combine.
4. Top with more crushed ice to create a dome.
5. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint.

A Whiskey Ginger

Seems like we're back in the world of adult refreshments, but that's okay. Cocktails need love too. The whiskey ginger first appeared in the US in the late 1800s and has been an American staple ever since. Its similarity to the Moscow Mule makes it a perfect cocktail to serve in our copper Mule mugs. In a way, the copper mug evokes the memory and spirit of the backwoods stills to which much of the American whiskey industry can trace its roots. If you're looking for an icebreaker cocktail for your next party a whiskey ginger in a copper mug will get tongues wagging.

Ingredients

• 2 oz whiskey
• 4 oz ginger ale
• Ice cubes
• Lime wedge (optional, for garnish)

How It's Made

1. Fill a copper mug with ice cubes.
2. Pour whiskey over the ice.
3. Top with ginger ale.
4. Stir gently to combine.
5. Garnish with a lime wedge, if desired.
