AUTHENTIC ONLY IN A REAL COPPER MUG

Copper has always been known for its positive temperature characteristics. A copper mug retains cold and warm particularly well. It’s also a great vessel for serving a perfect Moscow Mule. Since in a copper tumbler, it stays exactly as cold as it should be for a longer period of time. Admittedly, we have this tip from the inventor of the drink, Wes Price. In 1941, he experimented at the Cock ’N’ Bull Bar in Hollywood with Smirnoff Vodka and Ginger Beer. At some point, he drank the drink from a copper mug and thought it was outstanding. His guests then also did so enthusiastically. The Moscow Mule quickly became a leading actor in Hollywood and a short time later around the world.

NO GINGER IN THE BAR? UNTHINKABLE!

Fortunately, the colonial trade brought not only tea from Asia to Europe. Spicy ginger also joined it soon afterwards. Brits who liked experimenting had apparently been waiting for it a long time. They immediately began brewing beer from ginger, lemon, and sugar – ginger beer to be exact. And things just got better. In 1773, our namesake, Thomas Henry, invented carbonization. Nothing thus stood in the way of producing ginger lemonade. Some two hundred years later, with Thomas Henry Spicy Ginger Beer, we’ve created a premium mixer that’s at home in every good bar. Surprisingly spicy and aromatic, extremely refreshing, and also alcohol-free, cheers!
