Tiki Mug Moai Flowers 400ml, Hand-Painted Ceramic

For buyers who want to know what they are getting. On most tiki mugs the supplier declares only the weight, and the capacity stays unknown until the box arrives: here you have capacity, height, width and opening, which is exactly what you need to know whether a recipe fits.

This measurement decides how the drink is served. An 8cm opening lets a hand in with a spoon, lets you load crushed ice without it spilling over, and leaves room for a garnish built across the top, not only upwards. On mugs with a narrower opening, around 7cm, all three get harder and the garnish has to go up. Nobody looks at this figure, yet it changes a gesture repeated every day at the bar.

• Capacity: 400ml
• Height: 13cm
• Width: 7.5cm
• Opening diameter: 8cm
• Material: hand-painted ceramic
• Dishwasher safe: no, hand wash only

Choose the Moai Flowers if

You want the standard size and need the dimensions before you buy. For long tiki drinks like the Zombie, the 500ml mugs in the same category hold ice and liquid together without squeezing either.

400ml: which drinks fit

Classic mid-length tiki drinks are built around this capacity: Mai Tai, Painkiller, Jungle Bird. Filled with crushed ice as the recipe asks, the mug serves around 180 to 200ml of liquid, and the rest is ice. Serve a Zombie in 400ml and you end up cutting the ice, and a tiki drink with little crushed ice starts strong and finishes watery.

The ice dome

Crushed ice is loaded until it rises above the rim in a dome, which is both the correct presentation and a technical choice: more cold mass means slower dilution, and with fine ice exposing so much surface it is the only way to keep the drink together to the last sip. The garnish rests on the dome, not in the liquid.

Why declared dimensions matter

Of the fourteen mugs in this category only some list their capacity, and the Moai Flowers is one of the complete ones: capacity, height, width and opening. Those four figures tell you whether a recipe fits and whether a hand goes in to clean it, before the box is opened. Anyone buying glassware at a distance knows what a supplier who declares them is worth.

Care

Hand wash in warm water with mild soap. With an 8cm opening the hand goes in and the sponge reaches everywhere, which makes this mug easier to clean than narrow-mouthed ones. Dry completely before putting away.
