Love a good cocktail? Then you need to try Moscow Mules if you haven't already. These are best consumed in mugs known as Moscow Mule mugs. We have an affordable Moscow Mule mug set which also has the recipe written out on the box which is great for gifts, retail, or personal use.
The mug set contains a total of 4 beautiful mugs. If retail stores purchase it, they can be assured that the set will be sold in high numbers. Not only will it attract first time customers, but it also has the potential to be bought by repeat customers as well. Use them at home and show off your wonderful purchase to relatives and friends.
A traditional Moscow mule mug is made of copper, which is an expensive material, so what most major restaurant chains and bars use nowadays are copper plated stainless steel to get the same look for a fraction of the price. With Christmas around the corner, you can consider buying this set for near and dear ones.
History of the Moscow Mule
Legend states that this cocktail was invented back in 1941. Its original birthplace was in Chatham Hotel, located in New York. The cocktail became immensely popular during the vodka craze in the US back in the 1950’s. Its name is derived from the popular perception that vodka is a Russian product, as it contains vodka in the recipe. Tradition and aesthetics have resulted in the Moscow Mule being served in copper mugs to this date.
John Martin, President of G.F. Heublin & Brothers, which was an East Coast importer of food and spirits, was responsible for popularising the Moscow Mule across pubs. Vodka, ginger beer and a dash of lime juice were brought together in a copper mug, and the rest became cocktail history. Martin’s marketing campaigns became known as one of the best campaigns in cocktail history.
Many people around the world have understood how the Moscow Mule mug set has become instrumental in getting guests together. Its distinctive taste makes people wonder about its creation. So every time you have a dinner party or a small get-together, make sure to serve this amazing cocktail to your friends or relatives.
Importance of Quality
There are many companies in the market that sell Moscow Mule mugs, but not all of them are good quality, or even safe to use. Make sure you conduct adequate amount of research to buy mugs of the highest quality. Our mugs are used by some of the largest bars, restaurants, and retail stores in the world, and we stock and warehouse over 200,000 in the U.S., making us one of the top suppliers in the nation.

How to Buy Copper Moscow Mule Mugs for a Wedding
- Published: Tuesday, 03 November 2015 00:35
Congratulations on the big news! If you're feeling anything like most people do after getting engaged, you're probably very excited, and also overwhelmed with all the planning at the same time. Whether you're looking for a gift for your guests or bridal party, or you're serving the Moscow Mule as a signature cocktail on the big day, we want to help you learn how to buy copper Moscow Mule mugs for your wedding at the best possible price and quality.
Step 1: Decide how many mugs you need and what your budget is
You probably already have a number in mind, but remember that most places will offer price breaks at higher quantities. For example, if you're purchasing the mugs for a wedding favor, and you're expecting 130 guests, it might work in your favor to buy 144 mugs if that's the next quantity for a lowered price (and you never know who will show up without RSVPing). The good news is, while Moscow Mule mugs retail for upwards of $20/piece, they are much more affordable through a wholesale supplier like us (more like $4-$7!).
Step 2: Pick a style
There are quite a few different things to consider when choosing the style of mug you want to use for your wedding: the shape, color, material, and your cost-per-guest ratio. There are different shapes and handles that are all considered Moscow Mule mugs, so just browse a little online to find one you like (Click Here to Browse Moscow Mule Mugs). Despite common belief, there are other material options other than pure copper, such as copper-coated stainless steel and aluminum. Most people go with a stainless steel or aluminum option because they are less than half the price as pure copper, and they look just as nice.
Step 3: Consider shipping and printing requirements
If you're thinking about getting a design of some kind on your mug (your initials, the date, a symbol of some kind, etc.), make sure to take into consideration the extra cost of printing. Also, if you're working with a supplier that is across the country as opposed to in your own city or state, get a shipping quote before purchasing the mugs as that can drive up the cost per mug considerably depending on the supplier.
Step 4: Purchase early
You never know when something might not go as planned, so be sure to purchase at least a month or 2 in advance if possible so there's plenty of margin built in for printing and shipping.
In closing
We have over 250,000 Moscow Mule mugs in stock across 5 different styles. We are one of the largest suppliers in the nation, and we handle everything in the process from manufaturing to printing and delivery. We would love to get you the most affordable, high-quality mugs for your wedding.
