Classy Moscow Mule Cocktail Gift Set


Classy Moscow Mule Cocktail Gift Set

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0141EM0E4

Great gift set! Anyone who loves mixology will love this.

This set comes with a handmade carved wooden box with a lovely clasp, a wood coaster and a beautiful cooper mug (the pictures doesn’t give it justice since the surface is so shinny and reflective that it catches the background hues). It came without any blemish or scratch.

This will make a great gift for this Christmas season.


I had to make a little research into what was a Moscow Mule and the purpose of the cooper mug. What I found was very interesting and a good thing to know if you like cocktails and mixology.

Purpose: "the mug keeps the drink colder longer without needing as much ice but also because the acidic lime juice tastes a lot more sharp and crisp against the metal cup compared to a traditional pint glass."

Note: I received this product free or highly discounted in exchange of an honest and un-biased opinion. 

Recipe: (Oprah.com)

  • Ingredients:
  • 1 ounce vodka
  • 1 tsp. sugar syrup
  • Fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 cup ginger beer
  • 1 sprig fresh mint
  • 1 slice of lime

Directions: In a copper mug, pour vodka over ice. Add sugar syrup and lime juice. Top with ginger beer and stir. Garnish with mint sprig and lime slice.

Legend (cooper.org):


One day, while Martin was visiting his friend Jack Morgan who owned the Cock 'n Bull pub on the Sunset Strip in Hollywood, he bemoaned the fact that he couldn't sell his vodka. Morgan complained he couldn't sell his ginger beer, a side passion of his that saw cases of it sitting in his restaurant's basement. And a third person (never identified in any of the stories) lamented that she had copper mugs that she either didn't want or need. Enter the brainstorm. Could all three benefit from combining their losses? The vodka and ginger beer were mixed with a dash of lime juice and served in copper mugs, imprinted with a kicking mule.




In one of the most successful marketing campaigns in cocktail history, Martin combined these three seemingly hopeless endeavors into one of the most popular drinks of the 1950s and early 1960s. Advertised as the Smirnoff Mule, magazine ads and posters across the nation showed celebrities Woody Allen, Monique Van Vooren, Julie Newmar, "Killer" Joe Piro, and Dolores Hawkins enjoying this tasty drink.


The result was that the Moscow Mule became a huge hit within a few years, helped by the Hollywood set and their affinity for the latest cocktail trends. Copper mugs were soon ordered across the country to support the lively libation.

It is absorbed quite quickly. The smell is not overpowering, just a mild scent that will fade promptly. It has a cooling effect and you can feel your skin smooth around the eye area. Apply with soft pads with your fingers and avoid getting this formula into your eyes.   Note: I received this product free for review and an honest and unbiased opinion.  EYES ON AGING The eyes are the first thing that shows aging in your face.

MeasuPro Ultra Quiet Handheld Electronic Tens Unit http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01BYN8GBG I tried this tens unit on my shoulders that are in knots because of stress and the massage setting put at the lowest level worked wonders. Even if I felt sore after using it, which is normal. My husband loves it because it relaxes him. It works like the ones that therapists use and is compact for easy carry. Love that is easy to use and has specific buttons marked for the muscles you are going to use it on. The down side is that it comes with 4 electro pads and you have to replace them when they stop adhering to your skin, the good news is that it comes with an offer for an extra set.  Note: I received this product at a reduced price for an honest and un-biased opinion.  Specifications: Display: Liquid Crystal, with large backlit LCD screen.
