To drink from a cup with both hands, grabbing two handles might be helpful.
The type of two-handled water vessels used in the traditional Jewish hand washing practice of Netilat Yadayim has two handles arranged 90 degrees apart. The type of two-handled drinking mug for assistive coffee and water drinking has two handles arranged 180 degrees apart.
When the handles are on opposite sides of the mug cylinder, you can drink using both hands, or with one hand, either one.
Technically, a mug is a cylindrical drinking cup. When a two-handled cup doubles for hot and cold beverages, then I’d say it’s used both as a mug and used as a cup.

Wow! The Dignity Mug is designed to enable people with MS (muscular sclerosis), PD (Parkinson’s disease), or ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) to drink hot beverages they enjoy. Its double handles are not only oversized, but also shaped in a special way to encourage comfy grip.
Available in yellow, blue, and red colors, this two-handle plastic mug with a sippy cap has an internal thermal cone to keep hot beverages hot and cold beverages cold. The downside is, this mug holds a miniscule 4.5 ounces which won’t carry much kick except in espresso.
***Dr. Bone’s Therapeutics offers a very similar plastic easy drink thermo-sip mug for your keen comparison.***

A special type of two-handle vessel for hand-washing use in the home. Kept by the sink for regular hand washing without spreading bacteria when exchanging the vessel from one hand to the other. A full 14 ounces is enough to rinse both hands with room temperature water.
Topsy-turvy for cold refreshment only, what’s unusual about this adaptive cup is its curved base which tips over without spilling. The two handles are attached to the twist-off lid, which would require someone with fine motor skills to twist-on and -off. It’s a sippy cup intended for cold beverages like water, juice, and soda only.

For hot beverages such as coffee or tea, a ceramic or porcelain mug is more suitable than a sippy cup like this. However, for adults with limited mobility, the sippy cap on this two-handle clear plastic cup makes drinking without spills more regular. The fact it’s microwave and dishwasher safe secures its place among two-handle mugs.

The sippy cup is primarily intended for cold beverages, but Providence Spillproof is worth mentioning again because this model is designed with insulating latex material able to handle hot beverages, and once again microwave and dishwasher safe.
Intuitive with two outward handles arranged at a right angle. It’s large enough for washing both hands without transferring germs from left to right. It’s not intended for drinking, and it’s not really a pitcher for pouring beverages either. Most people use a double-handle cup of this type for the good practice of hand-washing before a meal.

A large 16 ounces made of vintage-style enabled steel that doesn’t break when dropped, this one’s a total “Dad Mug” for fisherman and the outdoorsy.

Very much like Providence Spillproof’s clear plastic cup with a sippy cap for particular use with people drinking while aging and disabled, except this one’s got a half-inch weighted bottom part for standing strong and stabilized in-hands shakiness.

To end the list with a plain coffee mug, except this one’s double gripped.
