Know before you buy
This cup holds 9 ounces, which is the standard size for a traditional mint julep.
Pewter is a durable metal, but it should be hand-washed with mild soap and dried immediately to maintain its polished finish. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers that could scratch the surface.
Yes, the cup is suitable for machine engraving. You can personalize it with initials, a name, or a date to make it a unique keepsake.
While it is not vacuum-insulated, pewter is a conductive metal. When filled with crushed ice for a julep, the cup will frost over on the outside, which is a signature characteristic of the traditional serving style.
The cup stands 3.75 inches tall with a diameter of 3.125 inches, providing a comfortable grip despite the lack of a handle.
