I wonder if this is some sort of plate or saucer. In the case of the Kon-Tiki it looks like the drink could be served in a pineapple that has been peeled and trimmed in a conical shape and then set in the saucer.

Actually I think this line of thinking about the saucer makes the most sense. Another person made the suggestion independently that the cone-ish thing may well be an ice cone. Apparently there's at least one TVics that still serves drinks that way. Seems like it has the potential to be a big mess for especially deliberative drinkers, so the tray would need to have at least a little volume like that. But woof - your shaped pineapple idea also has a peel, I mean appeal.

So maybe it's not a hat! Maybe it's not a crypto-mug, but a cryo-mug. Or a pino-mug.

(sorry if "woof" is getting too familiar with the name, it's kinda fun how that sounds in a sentence)
