(Entertainment-NewsWire.com, July 28, 2014 ) Elmhurst, IL -- Mule Me! Copper Mug company is pleased to announce that they will begin selling their 16oz. barrel mug online beginning July 29, 2014. The 100% pure copper mugs are going to be sold on Amazon in packs of 2 for under $40. The mugs will have free shipping as well.
A spokesperson for Mule Me! Copper Mugs said, "These copper mugs are gaining huge popularity throughout the Chicago area and suburbs as Moscow Mules are becoming a very popular drink once again. A few years ago you would never see these mugs at bars or restaurants, now you are beginning to see them everywhere. Since they are hard to find at department stores, it makes sense to have them sold online".
Moscow Mules are made using 2 oz. of vodka, 6 oz. of ginger beer and fresh limes and are traditionally enjoyed over ice in copper mugs, which add to the flavor and sophistication of drinking this old-time libation. The Moscow Mule cocktail was invented in 1941 by the proprietor of the Cock 'n' Bull restaurant on Sunset Blvd. and the local distributers of Smirnoff vodka and ginger beer. The cocktail was traditionally very popular around the West Coast and with celebrities. Its popularity waned over the following decades until recently.
A spokesperson from Mule Me! states, "Many Moscow Mule drinkers feel that it is not a "real" Moscow Mule unless it is consumed from a copper mug. The popular notion is that the copper mug also helps keep the drink colder than a normal glass would, even on hot summer days, and adds to the taste of the cocktail".
