New England Trigger Mugs

As legend has it, the colonial sentries drew sustenance from a variety of beverages while on the lookout for the Redcoats in the thick New England woods. With rifle in one hand and a mug in the other, there was far less spillage when a double handle was added to the mug. The mug could be held with a better grip while at the same time allowing the sentry to pull the trigger on his musket; hence they were called trigger mugs.
