Item 7712
Coming to you from Doc's Crocks is this Blue/Black and White Spongeware Drinking Cup in the Form of the Head of a Mule.
It is embossed around the base "Missouri Mule." The Missouri Mule is the state of Missouri's official animal. It is also a drink named after President Harry S. Truman of Missouri. This cup plays tribute to Truman, his state, and his namesake drink! Dates around 1950.
In case you are interested, here are the directions as to how to make a Missouri Mule:
INGREDIENTS
- 1 oz Bourbon
- 1 oz Applejack or Apple Brandy. We like Laird's Apple Brandy.

- ½ oz Cointreau
- Garnish: none.
INSTRUCTIONS
Add all ingredients to your trusty mixing glass.
Add ice and stir to chill.
Strain drink into pre-chilled cocktail glass.
Drink.
As a side note, the original recipe called for shaking the drink. While our Editorial Board does not believe in shaking drinks that do not include juice, if you choose to shake you can fend off serious side-eye by citing it as the original practice for this particular drink.
Very Good Condition. A 1 1/2" hairline on one side at the bottom (closeup). Otherwise as made. Tripod marks on the back from the manufacture.
