See the Shirley Temple cocktail difference for yourself with a Specter & Cup Copper Cup

Enjoying a Shirley Temple cocktail from a Specter & Cup copper cup is an experience in itself. Copper keeps drinks cold for longer, which is especially important to preserve the refreshing taste of this non-alcoholic cocktail.

In addition, the copper cup adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to this classic drink with its special rustic aesthetic:

Imagine how the sparkling red of the cocktail reflects in the light and highlights the copper color of the cup. It's not only a treat for the palate, but also a feast for the eyes!

The natural properties of copper also enhance the overall drinking experience: copper transfers the coldness of the drink directly to your lips, which enhances the refreshing sensation. And if that wasn't enough, the copper mug is also a more environmentally friendly piece of tableware as it is reusable and durable.

Your Shirley Temple cocktail in a Specter & Cup copper cup is sure to be a highlight of any party or cozy evening at home.

Cheers!
