Why This Glass

Metal conducts cold quickly, so the mug feels icy in your hand and lips meet a cold rim.

Tip

Choose mugs lined with stainless steel or nickel. Unlined copper should not be used for acidic drinks.

A Little History

The mugs were part of a 1940s marketing push in Los Angeles that also gave the world the Moscow Mule.

Opaque Vessel

You can't see the liquid level through this one, so print the pour guide for a highball glass and measure there first.
