The Etruria in two lines
The Etruria is a 450ml tiki mug modelled on the Medusa mask and on the imagery of Italic culture, in packs of four. It sits in the generous band of the category, the one for tropical drinks and frozen serves.
Who it is for
For anyone doing tiki who does not want another Moai. The classic tiki repertoire is Polynesian by definition, and in Italian venues it has repeated itself unchanged for years: a mug drawing on Mediterranean iconography tells the same party with a reference the guest has not already seen on ten other bars, and it gives the bartender something to say when it reaches the table.
What the relief does at the table
A moulded mug shifts the visual work onto the garnish and onto the vessel itself, which is why tiki drinks carry the most built garnishes in the whole of mixing: plenty of mint, thick citrus slices, dried fruit, spices grated over the top. On a mug worked like this one the garnish is built upwards, because that is the part that reads from across the room, and the mask does the rest without any help from the drink.

Choose the Etruria if
You have a tiki section and you want a reference away from the Polynesian one. If the venue is built on Pacific island imagery, the classic subjects stay more consistent and need no explaining.
How a tiki is served in 450ml
Crushed ice to the rim and the garnish built on top. Crushed is the obvious choice on these drinks because it chills fast and allows the controlled dilution tiki recipes build into the measures, but it has to go in generously: a little crushed ice in a 450ml vessel melts in a few minutes and the drink falls apart. The rule is the usual one, that a larger cold mass lasts longer, and at this volume it counts double.
Care
Wash with attention to the worked surface: the relief of the mask holds more residue than a plain wall, and thick fruit juices want rinsing before they dry. Moulded mugs need more care than plain glasses when the basket is loaded.
