Copper Mugs Review with Moscow Mule Recipe

Mar 18, 2019

I

I received the mugs free of charge for review purposes only. All opinions shared are my onw.

Copper Mugs

I received the copper mugs from (CopperMugs) and immediately impressed with the quality of the mugs. The mugs are 100% pure food-grade copper with a nickel lining. Due to the acidic nature of cocktail ingredients, the nickel lining prevents any of these substances from reacting with the cooper and leeching into your beverages. I knew the quality of the mugs as I removed the mugs from the box. The welded on handles makes a sturdy handle with no issues for leaks. I washed the mugs with a drop of dish detergent and warm water; dried thoroughly. The mugs will be a nice addition to serving beverages while entertaining.

Serving Guests

Copper mugs make a striking statement when serving either cocktails or mocktails. I wanted to find another way to use them so I decided to use as a serving mug for chocolate caramel blondie gelato. If you are hosting a dinner party, these mugs will be the center of the tablescape.

Moscow Mule

This was my first time trying a Moscow Mule. I chilled the mug in the freezer before I prepared the cocktail. Also, I like to store my vodka in the freezer. After a bit of research, I found this brand of ginger beer at Target.

The recipe includes the following:
1 1/2 ounce premium vodka
1/2 ounce of fresh lime juice
3/4 cup ginger beer
lime wedge for garnish

This cocktail is great for serving with light snacks before dinner. The cocktail pairs well with grapes, cheese, and crackers.

Dessert in Cooper Mug

I think every dinner should end with a dessert and chocolate is one of my favorite ingredients. The copper mugs make any dessert look more delicious and appetizing. I decided to use the mugs for serving chocolate caramel blondie gelato, chocolate syrup, and pirouette wafers.

T.G.I. Fridays Girls’ Night In & Trunk Show

Sep 30, 2010

Last Saturday I had an opportunity to host a Girls’ Night In with @tomikabryant and a  trunk show with our friend DW.   I am always game for entertaining especially with good food and cocktails.  Thanks to the catering at Wegman’s and our T.G.I. Friday’s ready-to-serve cocktails, we were ready for a great party.   I was able to host the party and serve the T.G.I. Friday’s ready-to-serve premium cocktails.  These cocktails require no mixing because the alcohol is already in the bottle.  The only thing serving requires is a blender and plenty of ice- party begins!   It makes serving cocktails super easy and the line of flavors are sure to please everyone’s cocktail palate,  we served the Pina Colada, Strawberry Daiquiri, Mud Slide and Orange Dream.  I would definitely suggest serving these cocktails at your next event.   If you are in need of some entertaining ideas, visit Essence.com/TGIF cocktails for recipes, at-home party tips, music and other ideas for your party planning.

We wanted to add some more fun for our guests, so we had our friend DW bring in some lovely items from her online store.   The selection of  handbags, an array of  jewelry, embellished belts, and other must have accessories was definitely a good shopping experience .

Disclosure: M80 provided a gift card to host the party.  No compensation received to review the products.
