| | Clarification request(s) and responseLany Chabot-Laroche: 12:49am Nov 15, 2007: J'ai contacté le directeur, il s'agit bel et bien d'un drink servi dans une éprouvette.
MatthewLaSon: 10:47pm Nov 15, 2007: Est-ce du genre sur lequel figure un motif/des propos, nous rappelant du cocktail gin-tonic? Je pense qu'il faudrait décider de la traduction selon son apparence ainsi que son usage (si c'est possible).

| | gin and tonic-themed test tube shot glass | Explanation:
Hello,
I'm not sure, but this may be what you're talking about.
Perhaps, this is a test tube shot glass used specifically for gin and tonic preparations or one that has a gin and tonic design on it. I'm not sure (maybe it's both LOL)
Why is gin and tonic capitalized in French here?
I hope this helps. |

| Criterion on the theme of Gin Tonic
Explanation:
I think you mean to translate éprouvette? A direct translation could be test, which could also be understood as criterion.

| A gin-tonic themed test
Explanation:
Je risque de me griller ici, mais je suis intriguée, surement il devrait y avoir un contexte ? S'agit-il d'un titre? Je me demande s'il n'y aurait pas une acception élargie au sens d'une mise à l'épreuve (as in "l'éprouvette basque"), comme le suggère le nom du café-spectacle parisien... Dans ce cas ce ne serait ni le contenant, ni le contenu, mais l'action. A gin-tonic themed test?

| Sample based on the theme of Gin Tonic
Explanation:
It is the content and not the quantity, probably to check the quality of the Gin Tonic.

Then, I feel it should be the Tulip shaped sample glass, in which most of the sampling of wines and liquor are made.

As far as I know, we use test tubes only for taking a sample for analysis, and not for drinking. You can check up with the chef you mentioned.

Asker: It actually is the glass in which the drink is served. The chef seems very.. particular.
Asker: It really is a test tube, as linked by Mattew.
