Mini

A large plastic cup, typically holding between half a liter and a full liter, used in Madrid for serving beer or mixed drinks at bars and street festivals. The name is ironic because the cup is actually quite big, leading to a local joke that it is a small drink that needs to be refilled constantly (in Madrid, these large cups are a staple of nightlife and social gatherings).

Hand me a mini of beer.
