Appreciate a Copper Mug
Most admirers of Mule cocktails insist that they taste crisper and more aromatic when served in a copper mug. This is likely due to the fact that the copper decreases the temperature of the drink, thus delivering consistent, chill-worthy sips from start to finish. It is also said that copper mugs create extra fizz and carbonation, which in turn enhances the core flavor of the ginger, citrus, and mint inside.
