Sorry, I've no idea where we picked up this glass. I also don't recall seeing it in recent years. We now try and record glass used in photographs for just this reason.

Sweet and nutty. Full bodied without being heavy. Mint garnish really does bring a ton to the drink (get yer nose in there). Low ABV. Garden drink.
