Chile is one of the main exporters of copper in the world and it is very common to sell copper accessories, jewelry or ornaments.

On this occasion, we show you the famous copper glasses, widely used today to make the “Moscow Mule” cocktail.

Why are these glasses used? Cocktail purists claim that this metal keeps the drink cold better and even adds nuances to the individual flavors of its ingredients, especially when the vodka oxidizes the walls of the cup.

A little history ...

At the beginning of the 40th century, Chile discovered that it had copper deposits, just when global demand for this mineral was experiencing an increase. Today Chile is the largest producer and exporter of copper in the world and our history has been marked by mining. That is why it is so common to see souvenirs made from this raw material, such as copper glasses to make Moscow Mule, a cocktail that was born in the XNUMXs, but that has recently become a trend.

Where to buy copper glasses?

There are various shops and craft fairs where you can find them. Here we leave you some recommendations of national ventures: Wayu (www.wayu.cl), Created in Chile (www.creadoenchile.cl) and Copper Republic (www.republicadelcobre.cl).

Prices are from $15.000 Chilean pesos (19 dollars) the pair of cups.
