It's only an Iowa Mule because Iowa outlawed the copper mugs a couple of years ago. Whatever is in the drink causes an acidic breakdown of the copper thereby posing a health risk.

FYI the madness in a number of Roman emperors came from wine flavored by simmering grape juice in lead pots.
Not that anyone here wants to be a mad emperor ....

Visit “Raiding the Rock Vault”, Howard Leese’s show at Hard Rock. It’s well worth it.

Not just emperors. They found lead poisoning in a high percentage of skeletons found in Herculaneum. Evidently the Romans used lead casks or maybe an additive as a sweetener for their wine.
The same, incidentally is thought to have caused Beethoven’s deafness and stomach ailments; this was discovered by analysis of his hair.
Also, lead was part of womens’ makeup from Roman times until the 19th Century.
Gotta love those guys.
