You can rock mermaid hair, wear a mermaid wedding dress, or sport a mermaid tail at the pool, but have you ever drank from a mermaid mug?
Mermaids are one of the most well-known fantasy creatures. Half-human and half-fish, whether seen alongside Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean, or desperately longing to be human in The Little Mermaid, these creatures are one of the most famous legends to be spawned from the sea.
Adults can now enjoy mermaid fantasies of their own, thanks to Absolut Elyx and its new Copper Mermaid Drinking Vessel. The exclusive product features a dazzling ornamental creature of the deep on its top. The mug holds up to 360 milliliters of brew; perfect for sipping cocktails on the beach or by the pool.

The Copper Mermaid Drinking Vessel retails for $299 and can only be found in Absolut Elyx’s shop. It's available now, but only for a limited time.
In addition to the mug, Absolut Elyx is diving further into the depths with a few select mermaid-inspired cocktails, using their copper-crafted vodka as a base. With plenty of fruit, a few mixes with champagne, and a few surprises here and there, there’s certainly an element of mystery and adventure for these mixes. Try them out yourself!
