Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

1. Why copper cups instead of glass? Copper keeps drinks cold longer and ensures a long-lasting refreshing drinking experience – ideal for spicy cocktails with cinnamon.
2. How do I clean my copper cup properly? Only clean with cold water and mild dish soap, then dry thoroughly. Do not put in the dishwasher!
3. Can I pour hot drinks into copper cups? No. Only suitable for cold drinks – cinnamon tea belongs in a mug.
4. Where can I get cinnamon syrup? In delicatessens, online, or simply make it yourself (boil water + sugar + cinnamon).
5. Can I prepare the cocktails in advance? Sure – but please leave out the ice and tonic. Add these just before serving in the Copper Cup.
