2. Fancy Drinking Cups

We've already mentioned the importance of presentation when it comes to cocktails and how Moscow Mules are especially famous for the copper drinking glasses they're served in.

But, copper mugs are not only for Moscow Mules. Copper mugs are also a great way to serve both hot and cold drinks.

During the holidays, why not serve some hot cocoa, topped with fluffy marshmallows, in these beautiful mugs? It's sure to be a hit with the kids. 

In fact, while the kids are sipping on their hot chocolate, the adults can indulge in some festive cocktails simultaneously. Everyone gets a copper mug and no one feels left out! Just keep in mind that the beverage should not be boiling hot, or else the mug will become very hot as well.

You could be sitting by the fireplace during the winter, or enjoying the sunshine on a hot summer day, and never have to worry about your ice melting or your drink losing its chill.

On the other hand, you won't have to be concerned about your delicious cocoa or soothing tea getting cold while you take your time to enjoy the aroma between each sip.
