True, although it was originally served in a glass. Here's an illustration from a menu I have which is dated to 1963:

However Don's appeared to be using the same menu since 1941 and only updated the prices. They were using a new one by 1965 and eliminated the drawings and replaced them with watercolors, and the Don Beach is still only shown in a glass, so it's likely sometime after 1965—if that's even the correct drink!:

There's at least one mug out there that is hand signed ("Vermonde Original"), which might be an indication that the mugs were only made for one location for the long-neck green mugs at least. But which came first, the long-neck green mug, or the shirt-necked yellow/brown "Asian-eyed" mug?
