Moscow Mule Hammered Copper Mug Plain
There are 3 quality levels of copper Moscow mules mugs out there. The cheapest is not copper at all, but stainless steel plated with copper on the outside. This version is light and cheap... under 10 bucks. You'll note that the plating is often a bit messy around the lip and handle... you might stay away from this one.
The second type is made from a thin layer of copper and then washed with nickel on the interior so that your drink doesn't taste like a penny. It's better then the first one above, but still not what the pro's use.
The best quality moscow mule mug has two layers of metal.... copper on the outside and stainless steel on the inside. This version is heavy and has a solid feel to it. The copper is typically coated with a light sealant that will wear over time and form a wonderful patina.
Ours is the best quality... of course.
