It is autumn in New England, and it is starting to get chilly out there. But that means it is time for all our favorite fall-inspired drinks featuring the harvest fruits and spices of the season such as pumpkin, apple, and of course, the return of drinking hot drinks with cinnamon. Of course, nothing makes a drink extra warm and inviting like a good quality mug can: a mug that has some heft to it, feels warm (or cool) to the touch when you wrap your hands around it.

Looking for a set of mugs perfect for curling up on the couch with your favorite warm drink like hot cocoa with whipped cream or marshmallows, mulled cider or a homemade Pumpkin Latte? Then check out the Peak Eclipse Stainless Steel Mugs.

ABOUT PEAK ECLIPSE STAINLESS STEEL MUGS
Peak Eclipse Stainless Steel Mugs are double wall insulated to keep hot drinks steaming hot and cold drinks icy cold. It also stops condensation outside of the mug, so it is ideal for Moscow Mule type drinks, lemonade, beer or iced tea in the summer.

WHY STAINLESS STEEL?
Peak Eclipse uses a Premium Grade 304 18/8 Stainless Steel that is rust proof. This is a very nice feature to make these your go-to durable mugs for not only home use but for glamping/camping, hiking, traveling, barbecuing, tailgating, al fresco dining and picnics. They also won’t break if dropped. But of particular note, Stainless Steel keeps drinks hot longer than ceramic mugs can.

Stainless Steel is also eco-friendly and has natural anti-bacterial properties, which makes them highly useful as a coffee mug to keep at the office in addition to at home use.

Finally, the Stainless Steel is sturdy and has a sleek, modern sheen to it that is suitable for various decors and color schemes. It has been micro-polished inside and out for a high, glossy shine.

In addition to being durable and attractive, this particular set of Stainless Steel Mugs pass GRAS tests – meaning they are recognized as safe with no plastic, chemicals, or paint, and they are BPA free.

USING THE PEAK ECLIPSE STAINLESS STEEL MUGS
With a 15 ounce capacity, my mugs are the ideal size for tea or coffee, or to use with Moscow Mules, to serve cold beer, or to have a Mulled Apple Cider. The double-wall is an excellent feature that hot drinks such as tea or coffee feel warm but not too hot to the touch. The mugs are sturdy, and the lip is a comfortable and easy one from which to drink. The handle is easy to grip, a plus when carrying cold beverages. Since it is the perfect time of year for fresh Apple Cider, here is a Spiked Apple Cider recipe to try:
