Things You’ll Need (or Want!)
Smooth Copper Mugs Let’s start with a set of smooth mugs that are on the inexpensive side of things. This set of 4 copper mugs also comes with a bonus shot glass and recipe booklet.
Pure Copper Mugs I love the style of these gorgeous mugs. A set of 2 plus handcrafted artisan coasters to match. A little pricier but the great reviews indicate they’re worth the price.
