copper mug

Metallic drinking cup

A copper mug is a drinking vessel made of copper, typically with a handle.

Most associated with the Moscow mule cocktail, where the metal's thermal conductivity keeps the drink cold and creates a distinctive frosty exterior: She served the Moscow mules in traditional copper mugs.

The characteristic orange-brown color makes them decorative as well as functional.
