A pony glass may mean one of two types of small glassware: * A quarter-pint glass of beer: , metricated to 140ml in Australia. * A small, stemmed glass of about one ounce,〔''(CocktailDB )''〕 similar to a stemmed shot glass. Used for liqueurs or cordials,〔''Mr. Boston Bartender's Guide'', Mr. Boston Distiller Corporation, Boston, 1978, back endpapers〕 hence also called a "cordial glass" or "liqueur glass". ==Name== The name "pony" is due to the small size, and dates to the 19th century.〔''Notes and Queries'', August 8th, 1896, (p. 126 ): “It seems probable the origin is due to the diminutiveness of the glass;” “The expression ‘a pony of beer’ is often used in South Wales for a small glass containing about the fourth of a pint.”〕 Similar terms include pony bottle and pony keg. Folk etymologies incorrectly relate the name to horseracing. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pony glass」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
