At Copper Mug Co., we manufacture superior
Moscow Mule copper mugs at wholesale prices.
The original hand-hammered Moscow Mule copper mug with a brass handle is our most popular product. Few beverages are assigned such an exclusive drinking vessel, much less one as cunning and artistically-crafted like the copper mug.
Copper mugs are a timeless piece, beautiful statement piece of barware to use when serving the notorious Moscow Mule. The Original is our most classic design available, reminiscent of the original design used at the beverage’s inception. Shop for the next addition to your copper collection, or give a friend the gift of copper. Our custom copper mug engraving is a thoughtful gift for cocktail lovers, giving you the chance to add a special mark on barware that lasts a lifetime.
I ordered a shaker and two mugs with my initials and they are great quality and were made in a timely manner. I would definitely recommend them to others.

People love our mugs because of their:
Sturdy brass handle made of solid copper
Food-grade lacquer that prevents tarnishing
Ability to hold 16 ounces of their favorite drink
Super easy, low-maintenance upkeep
Does copper keep drinks cold?
Well, yes and no. (But long story short, no.) Granted, the effervescent concoction of ginger beer, vodka and lime over ice is refreshing regardless of its vessel. Many believe that metallic copper has properties that insulate a beverage from external heat, keeping your Mule ice-cold. However, the exposed copper of a Moscow Mule mug does quite the opposite.
Like many metals, copper conducts electricity (and heat.) This means that copper does not keep beverages cool, but instead, it makes beverages seem cooler. Between two beverages made identically alike – one in a copper mug and the other in a glass tumbler – the tumbler should keep the beverage cooler, as copper absorbs heat from the surrounding atmosphere.
Your near-100ºF body heat tells you that the copper mug is particularly cold as you sip from it, but in reality, the mug is absorbing the heat from your body (and its surroundings), which warms the liquid inside.
Did you know?
Hammered finishes on copper mugs help the even distribution of heat, which is intentional by design to keep drinks cooler.
The Moscow Mule copper mug is designed with a brass handle; a metal only 28% as conductive as copper, offering a (literally) hand-held solution that helps keep your drink as cold as possible and keeps your hands free of condensation around the edge of the mug.
Why Buy From Copper Mug Co? We Take Design Seriously.
Simply put, quality matters—so we don’t skimp.
100 percent pure copper.
Other companies might simply plate a stainless-steel mug with copper or use less expensive metals. But our Moscow Mule mugs are pure, 22-gauge copper. Available either hammered or smooth, they’ll add style and elegance to your bar product line and branded merchandise.

We ordered over 100 mugs on a very condensed timeline for an event. Because of the rush, we chose to have ready-to-ship mugs engraved with our logo, which has a considerable amount of small text that can be difficult to print. The mugs arrived on time, ahead of our event and looked fantastic - a huge hit with all of our guests. I would absolutely recommend and plan to reorder for future events.

I typically like to touch and feel a product before ordering. I really wanted to gift mule kits to our clients for Christmas. I could not find anything local, so ordered bulk from Copper Mug Co online. I could not be more pleased. The mugs are more beautiful in person than online. Great quality and our clients loved them.

A Brief History of Copper Mugs & The Moscow Mule
Moscow Mule. It’s an odd name. Where does it come from, anyway? Does it have Russian roots? Maybe a byproduct of the Russian Revolution?
The real origin story of the Moscow Mule is colorful and distinctly American. Or stories, plural—more than one version is floating around. Both involve a couple of buddies named John and Jack, a bar…and a woman.
Hollywood, California, 1941. It’s smack in the middle of the Golden Age of Hollywood, on the Sunset Strip in sunny Los Angeles. One day in his friend Jack Morgan’s Hollywood bar, the Cock’n Bull, successful importer John G. Martin was in the mood to complain. He’d purchased a then-unknown vodka distillery (a little company called Smirnoff), and he was lamenting his inability to unload the vodka. It just wasn’t selling, he said.
Still smarting from Prohibition, Americans were dearly devoted to their beer and whiskey. Vodka? Not so much.
Morgan, it turned out, was having the same issue trying to sell his ginger beer. Over hours of drinks, the two came up with a strategy: combine their beverages and sell it as one cocktail.
But what about the distinctive Moscow Mule copper mug the cocktail would become famous for?
That’s where the woman comes in.
Depending on which story you’re telling, it’s either Morgan’s girlfriend, Osalene Schmitt, whose family owned a copper mine, or Sophie Berenzinski, a Russian woman who had traveled to America expressly to offload the two thousand copper mugs her father’s copper factory had manufactured and couldn’t sell.
Each story ends the same, inside the smoky Cock’n Bull pub. Three people, three different problems, one solution: the dawn of a new cocktail that would incorporate all three elements: ginger beer, vodka, and the copper mug.
And the Moscow Mule was born.
