The theft of copper mugs traditionally used for Moscow Mules is apparently a nationwide epidemic these days. As for who's responsible, The Standard Pour owner Brian McCullough says, "It's not the typical young punk featured on an ABC after-school special, but the 40-year-old woman with a Gucci purse instead." He's raised the price of said cocktail by $2 to cover the cost of replacing the cups — meanwhile, Goodfriend is attempting to combat the issue by holding patrons' IDs as collateral. [City of Ate]
