The 8 Best Moscow Mule Mugs of 2024

We found the copper to keep things cool

In This Article

Final Verdict

• What to Look for

Why Trust The Spruce Eats?

The Spruce Eats / Photo Illustration by Chloe Jeong / Retailers below

When it comes to classic cocktails, the Moscow Mule is among the most iconic, perhaps because it’s so simple. “The great thing about a Moscow Mule is how easy it is to make and enjoy. It's just three ingredients—vodka, lime juice, ginger beer," says Harry Jamison, General Manager of a.kitchen+bar. But for the most authentic experience, you’re missing the most important ingredient: the signature copper mug.

Why does the traditional mug matter so much? The copper material takes on the temperature of the drink, keeping your libation ice-cold—even on the hottest of summer days. Some say the copper also intensifies the fizziness of the spicy ginger beer, creating aromatic fragrances and flavorful sips. A standard copper Moscow Mule mug is made entirely of copper with a round bowl and handle to keep your hand from freezing. If that’s not your style, there are many contemporary and quirky options available.

We've researched the best Moscow Mule mugs available and chose our favorites. Read on to find yours!

Best Overall

Advanced mixology moscow mule copper mugs.

Crafted by hand

Includes straws, coasters, and shot glasses

Generous size

Requires care

Will tarnish over time

One of the most authentic Moscow Mule mugs available is Advanced Mixology's Moscow Mule Copper Mugs Set, which includes everything you need to craft excellent cocktails: four hammered mugs, a matching hammered copper shot glass for measuring, four copper straws that double as stir sticks, and four wooden coasters.

The mugs hold a generous 16 ounces—more than enough room for a double Moscow Mule if you so please—and each is crafted from 100 percent food-grade copper that's heated, tempered, formed, hammered, and polished by hand, and then finished with a tarnish-resistant coating on both the inside and outside. Hand wash the mugs to protect the finish. In general, copper cups like these will begin to tarnish over time. That said, it’s easy to buff them up at home with a little bit of metal polish.

Capacity: 16 ounces | Material: 100 percent copper | Glasses Included: 4

Runner-Up, Best Overall

Cocktail kingdom moscow mule mug.

Top quality

Bartender-approved

Comfortable handle

Polished finish

Hand-wash only

Holds only 12 ounces

Looking for something classic and reliable? Barware giant Cocktail Kingdom offers this simple, streamlined Moscow Mug. It's a reproduction that's reminiscent of the first official Moscow Mule mug, made with a smooth finish.

Aesthetics aside, this mug is heavy-duty but features a comfortable handle. It’s made with 100 percent copper and coated with a food-safe finish that prolongs the life of the mug and prevents direct copper contact, meaning it won't patina, tarnish, or fade after many washes. The mugs are hand-wash only, which is a bit of a drawback, and hold only 12 ounces of liquor each, which is a bit less than others on our list. Trust Cocktail Kingdom to make an excellent copper mug. The barware producer is known as the go-to for high-quality bar tools for bartenders everywhere.

Capacity: 12 ounces | Material: 100 percent copper | Glasses Included: 1

Best Design

Kamojo moscow mule copper mugs.

Includes straws

Handmade by artisans in India

Easy to hold

Not a traditional design

Metal is quite thin

If you’re looking to impress, Kamojo’s embossed mugs skip the traditional decorative hammered finish in favor of elegant embossments of flowers, leaves, filigrees, and flourishes. The shape of the mugs is different from the usual barrel-shaped versions, with a taller, slimmer shape.

Each of these details is carefully hammered by hand by an artisan in India. The mugs hold 16 ounces each, so they’re a perfect fit for any classic Moscow Mule recipes (or try a  spiked lemonade  or Bloody Mary) you find, while the generous, elegantly shaped handle is easy to hold. 

The copper is finished with a protective coating, helping reduce the oxidation copper is prone to over time (that means less time polishing, and more time sipping). Two copper straws are included for sipping or stirring, and a free e-book with Moscow Mule recipes is included. These should be hand-washed.

Capacity: 16 ounces | Material: 100 percent copper | Glasses Included: 2

Best Solid Copper

Moscow copper moscow mule mug.

Original design

Traditional or hammered finish

Can be engraved

Requires upkeep to keep polished

If you're looking for a Moscow Mule mug that's the real deal, this is the original dating to 1941. We like its classic design, large and comfortable, heavy-gauge handle, and solid copper construction.

You have the option for the traditional polished finish or a hammered surface, and it's also engravable, which makes it a great gift. Each mug comes with a pine wood box with a latch for storage, along with a microfiber bag for scratch-free storage. The interior is unlined and completely free of nickel or tin; it's solid copper. The mug itself is roomy and holds 16.9 ounces.

Capacity : 16.9 ounces | Material: 100 percent copper | Glasses Included: 1

Sertodo Copper Copper Moscow Mule Mug

Handmade by artisans in Texas and Mexico

Trendy shape

Made from recycled sources

Requires upkeep

When it comes to quality, Sertodo’s copper Moscow Mule mugs are as top-notch as you get. Each Sertodo product is carefully made from recycled sources by a team of artisans led by founder Jonathan Beall in the brand’s Austin, Texas workshop and Michoacán, Mexico. While the mugs undergo traditional copper welding and hammering, they have a modern appearance. Sertodo skips the usual rounded cup for a more angular, Southwestern take on a Moscow Mule cup. The handles are carefully welded on, making them incredibly durable, and the brand uses high-quality copper, so there's no need for chemical linings and lacquers.

Each mug holds 12 ounces of liquid. They are on the pricier side but keep in mind the brand employs highly skilled Mexican artisans, so that money is going towards exceptional materials, hours of craftsmanship, and the employees' quality of life.

Capacity: 18 ounces | Material: 100 percent copper | Glasses Included: 4

Decodyne Moscow Mule Shot Glasses

Great for hosting

Cute and functional

Copper-plated

While these won’t hold a full Moscow Mule, these petite shot glasses are excellent accompaniments to your next happy hour. Both cute and functional, they hold 2 ounces each. They're 100 percent copper-plated and lacquered to resist tarnishing. They have a durable, non-reactive stainless steel interior for durability. 

When they aren't in use, place them in the kitchen to hold small amounts of salt, sugar, or spices for your favorite recipes. They also make great measuring cups when you need exactly 2 ounces of something for cooking. You could even use them as a festive  jigger for measuring  out your actual Moscow Mules or for  serving fun shots —perhaps vodka with a lime salt rim or fresh ginger juice. Wipe with a damp cloth to clean.

Capacity: 2 ounces | Material: Copper plated | Glasses Included: 4

Best Personalized

Mark and graham monogrammed copper mug.

Versatile mug

Crafted by artisans

Not a traditional Moscow Mule mug

A personalized mug can make a wonderful gift for a hostess, friend, or family member. If you're giving these as a gift and want them to stand out, add a monogram engraved into the metal for a permanent embellishment—it’s a great touch for the new bride or the first-time homebuyer. Monogramming does cost extra, but you can choose from 16 different styles, which gives you plenty of options for personalization.

For this mug, Mark and Graham veers away from the rounded Moscow Mule mug shape, opting, instead, for a classic beer hall Stein. That means this mug will be excellent for not just drinking frozen cocktails but icy beers and Micheladas.

It's made from 100 percent copper and lined with tin, plus it features a generous handle. Since there’s no coating on the copper, the mug will develop a patina over time. However, you can polish it if you prefer a shiny appearance. We like that you can buy these singly, or four to a set.

Capacity: 15.5 ounces | Material: Copper, tin | Glasses Included: 1 or 4

Krown Kitchen Moscow Mule Copper Mugs

Finished with stainless steel

Keeps drinks cold for hours

Purists may not like a non-copper mug

Purists swear by a 100 percent copper mug, so this mug may not be for you. However, if you’re worried about upkeep, having a mug like this one, which is lined with stainless steel, will help your drinkware hold up over time. The Krown Kitchen Moscow Mule Copper Mug Set has a hammered copper exterior, but the interior is non-reactive stainless steel, so it won't corrode or impart tinny flavors to your  favorite cocktails . This set includes four mugs and coasters, a stainless steel-lined shotglass, a recipe book, and a cleaning cloth.

The handles are welded onto the mug for added security, and the double-walled construction will keep drinks cool for several hours, which is a great bonus if you're going to be enjoying a drink or two outdoors during the summer months. No wonder these mugs are at every Happy Hour in the South.

Capacity: 16 ounces | Material: Stainless steel, copper | Glasses Included: 2

Advanced Mixology's Mule Science Moscow Mule Copper Mugs not only look stunning, but each one also holds a generous 16 ounces of vodka, lime juice, and ginger beer. Plus, the set comes with a shot glass, straws, and coasters. If you're giving the gift of drinkware to a cocktail enthusiast, the B. Weiss Copper Moscow Mule Mugs hold the same amount of liquid, won't corrode, and arrive in classy packaging.

What to Look For in a Moscow Mule Mug 

A great Moscow Mule mug is pricey, but that’s because of the copper construction. Over the last few centuries, drinkers have discovered that copper cups retain the chilly temperatures of an ice-cold beverage for far longer than a standard metal mug. Copper is particularly efficient at insulating and keeping your drinks cold all through hot summer days. While 100 percent copper mugs are the most high-quality options available, one lined with stainless steel will also be easy to clean. Some Moscow Mule cups even come with a cleaning cloth to make them shine like a new penny.

Many options out there are copper-plated. While this will be easier to clean, it won’t have the benefits of a 100 percent copper mug.

If not finished properly, a copper mug can actually be dangerous. Copper parts can seep into your drink. Every option on this list is safe, but if you’re searching for a copper mug elsewhere, make sure the mug has a food-safe lacquer or finish. 

A Strong Handle

One of the reasons folks love a Moscow Mule mug is because they keep your drink absolutely frosty for over an hour. That also means it's very cold to hold, which is where the handle comes in. You’ll want to ensure the handle is large enough to fit your hand and welded on for extra stability.

How do you clean a copper mug?

As soon as happy hour is over, rinse the container and use a soft sponge and mild dish soap to scrub your copper mug. Rinse with hot water and dry the mug with a dish towel. Repeat with another dry kitchen towel—do not let the mug air dry.

Every few months, polish the mug with a metal cleaner to remove any tarnish. If you don’t have access to metal cleaner, try cutting a lemon in half and covering it with salt. Rub it on the tarnish, and any spots should come right out.

Why are Moscow Mule served in copper mugs?

There are a host of reasons Moscow Mule mugs are served in copper mugs. Some say copper intensifies the fizziness of ginger beer . More importantly, copper is one of the most conductive materials out there, meaning it takes on the chilled temperature of your drink. When you pour the ice in the Moscow Mule, it immediately chills down and keeps your drink frosted for far longer than a regular glass.

Should you chill Moscow Mule mugs?

Yes, absolutely chill the mug ahead of time for the best experience possible. Place it in the freezer for about two hours before you're going to use it.

Can you put hot drinks in Moscow Mule mugs?

We don't really recommend this, as copper is best for keeping cold drinks cold for a long period of time and thus coffee doesn't have any advantage in a mug like this.

How many ounces should a Moscow Mule mug hold?

Ideally, your mug should be able to hold your drink plus some ice, in order to ensure the drink is balanced. The drink itself is usually 14 to 16 ounces, so consider a mug that holds 16 to 20 ounces to give everything enough room.
