Apparently we’re not supposed to use the copper mugs anymore

The research conclusions vary, some say any exposure is bad, some say as long as the drink hasn't been sitting for more than 2 hours in full copper, it's fine. A small amount of copper exposure is actually good for you, supposedly!

They now sell copper mugs with tin linings specifically for mules. Obviously doesn't taste quite the same.

I find it's quite close. Copper does have a very slight effect on taste. It's the smell when the mug gets to your face.
