Know before you buy
This cup is crafted from high-quality pewter, a traditional metal choice known for its durability and ability to maintain a cold temperature, which is ideal for chilled cocktails.
The cup is designed to be personalized. You can typically arrange for custom lettering or monograms through the retailer's engraving services at the time of purchase.
Yes, 9 ounces is the standard size for a traditional mint julep. It provides enough room for crushed ice and your choice of spirit while remaining comfortable to hold.
Pewter is relatively low-maintenance, but it should be hand-washed with mild soap and dried immediately with a soft cloth to prevent water spots. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers that could scratch the finish.
While it is designed primarily for cold cocktails, pewter is a conductive metal. It is best suited for chilled drinks, as hot liquids will cause the metal to become too hot to handle comfortably.
