Moscow Mule Mugs Getting Stolen? We Can Ease the Mugging

Published: Tuesday, 02 June 2015 18:36

The Moscow Mule is a classic drink that’s arguably one of the best Vodka cocktails. Anyone who’s had one before knows that its not the same unless it’s served in shiny copper mug. While serving the drink in a copper might be easy, keeping the mugs around after patrons leave is turning out to be a little more of a challenge for bartenders and bar owners. One Southern California cocktail lounge told us they lost over $1,000 worth of Moscow Mule Mugs.

Many brands have approached us on how to deal with Moscow Mule Mug theft, so we came up with a new low cost way to manufacture the mugs. A Copper Moscow Mule Mug typically costs anywhere from $20-40, however we’ve come up with a new way to manufacture them for as low as $3 depending on the style you’d like. Lower Cost Moscow Mule Mugs
In addition to our traditional Copper Moscow Mule Mugs, we manufacture copper plated aluminum and stainless steel mugs. These mugs have the same look and feel as any other Moscow Mule Mug, but they’re only a fraction of the price. Since our Moscow Mule Mugs are a fraction of the cost they’re a great way to reduce your monetary loss as a result of the theft. Retail Sales and/or Take-Home Moscow Mule Program
With Moscow Mule Mugs being more popular than ever (not to mention being stolen), it’s a great time to start selling them retail. Many restaurants and bars sell the mugs for $20 or more, or they’re free to take home with certain specialty drinks (that are marked up slightly to cover the cost of the mug). Our Copper Plated Mugs are a great option for take-home programs because the lower cost of the mug is more feasible to recoup from a drink. Selling the mugs not only creates a profit center, but it’s also helpful because guest will see the value of the mug rather than seeing it as another free or unimportant commodity that they can take. Brand It with Your Logo
Whether you're only using the mugs on-premise, sell them retail, or give them away, you should definitely brand them with your logo. A one color imprint is relatively inexpensive and will provide you with in-home advertising when the mugs are sold or taken home. Branding the mugs is also a great way to promote your brand when guests share pictures of their visit on social media.
