Hello JohnN
I think a stirrup cup was originally a Scottish drink, but now refers to the drink at a meet before hunting, usually Port or Sherry.
I preferred the Port

A Stirrup cup is a particular type of cup, usually silver, that the hunting fraternity use for a final drink before the hunt moves off. They usually take the form of a fox or horses head, the unusual feature is that the cup does not have a stem or base, as they are meant to be passed from rider to rider. What goes in it is anyones guess, sloe gin or port most likely.
