Well to me you definitely seem to come across as defending it. Who in hell orders a double of ANYTHING besides a nip of spirits???

"Bartender, could you please make me a double Mai Tai?"."Bartender, could i please have a double Cosmopolitan?". Bartender, give me a double beer?"." You mean a larger glass???"."Yeah".

The old fashioned glass is named so because of the drink. I have no idea where, or why, a double old fashioned glass came from or exists, but regardless, it does and it is the perfect size for a Mai Tai. Technically it's not a Mai Tai glass at all, it's a double old fashioned which happens to fit a Mai Tai perfectly. But no-one asks for a Mai Tai and a half!!!
