gin and tonic-themed test tube shot glass
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.

| Most items on the menu were capitalized, not just this one. |

Thanks, Jean-Jacques! You could do without it, I reckon... But, again, you can indeed "a ....-themed shot glass"

Criterion on the theme of Gin Tonic
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
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?
Note from asker:
| Ah, oublié d'indiquer, c'est une des partie d'un menu, ça semble faire partie de l'entrée. |

Sample based on the theme of Gin Tonic
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.

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

Test tubes are the new trend in shot glasses.
