Elegance Silver 90371 Silver Plated Beaded Mint Julep Cup, 12 oz.

Ordered two mugs. One is about two inches larger than the other, and came with obvious signs of repackaging. There were significant scratches on the inside of both of them.Spend the extra $5-$10 and get a product that you'll be happy with. Don't buy these.

As a home mixologist, I was looking for a fine quality mint julep cup... and priced so I didn't have to dip into my 401K. After considerable online searching, I came across these terrific silver-plated cups.My experience with some metal housewares from India is that they are not suitable for food service -- some even have warning tags on the utensils (naturally, we are advised of this caution only after purchase). Apparently, the metal impurities in some of these cups, plates & cutlery contain toxins. When used for food or drink, the impurities leach into what we consume. This is true with certain products made of pewter, brass, copper, and also stainless steel. Although not a universal problem with all imported metal utensils, the frequency of the problem is troubling.The silver plating on these particular cups is first-rate and offers a food-safe "barrier" for any impurities that may be present in the base metal of the cup (in this case stainless steel). Not to turn this review into rocket science, but most of us would rather not eat or drink from contaminated imported utensils (and no, I'm not a food neurotic).My wife and I could not be more pleased with these beautiful cups. The silver plating is polished to a high luster on the outside and satin-finish on the cup interior. They are heavy and well made, very attractive, larger capacity than most on the market, and add much to the enjoyment of our mint juleps. We think we're at the Kentucky Derby -- "Oh, be still ma' heart. I think I'm gettin' the vapahs!"For what it's worth, here is the mint julep recipe we found most enjoyable. Place 6 fresh spearmint leaves in the bottom of the cup and gently press a few times with a muddler -- just enough to release the essential oils. Fill the cup 3/4 with crushed ice from your freezer door (crushed ice is a must). Add 2-3 ounces of quality bourbon (like Evan Williams Black Label, Maker's Mark, Elijah Craig, Eagle Rare, or Knob Creek depending on your wallet & preferences). Add 1/2 ounce simple syrup and stir until the cup is ice cold. Top with a crown of crushed ice, add two small bar straws, garnish with a mint sprig and enjoy.

GREAT as need granddaughter to drink out of silver to help fight persistent infection. And they are very classy looking!

These cups look very nice and have a good weight to them. I got a set of 4 to use for mint juleps, but due to a defect in craftsmanship I had to send one back. They seem to have a few minor imperfections here and there, but overall very nice. They're not "high-end" but do add a touch of elegance to your bar collection.

Great quality, doesn’t show smudges or fingerprints. It has a solid, heavy base with velvet padding on the bottom so it doesn’t scratch anything. I use it as a pencil holder on my desk, it’s fantas!

These are heavy mugs, which give them a high quality feel. It also means that these mugs will nicely build up that desired smooth frost buildup on your julep.

I ordered 2 of these and both had a few blemishes. I tried to use silver polish to work out what I could, but there were still some spots beyond saving. It's an okay gift to buy if someone isn't that picky or pays attention to detail, but I don't know if I'd buy again just because it's not the best quality out there.

Seems well made. Keeps drink cold.

These cups (I ordered 4 for an upcoming Kentucky Derby event) are so nice. They are heavy and pretty and look more expensive than they are.

It's just what I thought it would be!

These cups are excellent! Solid weight, keeps our mint juleps cold, exactly what we were looking for!

I bought the goblet for my Dad's birthday. He loved it! It was beautiful,heavy and cold!! Perfect for a cocktail!

Love it

Love these for my mint juleps.

Prettier than picture
