However, I received a large glass of rum filled to the very top (~6 ounches / 180ml) and a glass of coke filled to the very top.

My first thought was "what the heck", but I´m wondering: Is there any place in the world where this would have been the standard?
The FA probably misheard it as "a rum" and "a coke". It's not like an inflight aircraft is exactly quiet.
