The Moscow Mule: The Copper Mug Phenomenon

Invented in 1941 at the Cock ‘n Bull pub in Hollywood as a marketing stunt by vodka importer John Martin, the copper mug was part of the original gimmick — and it stuck.

Does the Copper Mug Matter?

Yes — copper conducts temperature extremely well, keeping the drink colder longer. It also mutes some of vodka’s sharper notes.
