Notes
Easy, quick, and exceptionally delicious! The key to this cocktail is the copper mug. Copper is an excellent conductor. The icy temperature of the drink is transferred to the mug and thus your lips when you sip from it, cooling you down as you relax. Also, the handle is away from the mug: your hand doesn’t warm the drink, and your cocktail stays icy cold in the summer’s “muggy” heat.
