Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

1. Which vodka is best for fruity cocktails? It's best to choose a clear, neutral vodka without a strong flavor of its own – this allows the fruit to come through perfectly.
2. Why copper cups instead of glass? Copper retains cold particularly well, keeping your drinks refreshingly cool for longer. And visually? An absolute eye-catcher!
3. Can all fruits be used? Almost! Just pay attention to ripeness and acidity. Citrus fruits, berries, peaches, and watermelon are ideal.
4. Do I need to use a shaker? For many cocktails, stirring with a bar spoon is sufficient – but a shaker will give you a more intense mix.
5. Are there non-alcoholic versions? Yes – simply replace the vodka with sparkling tonic or non-alcoholic vodka substitute. The taste remains exciting.
6. How do I clean a copper mug properly? Clean with warm water and a soft cloth. Do not put in the dishwasher! And very important: only use for cold drinks.
