Homonym: Tonic (Medicine)
A tonic is a type of drink that is often used to enhance the flavor of cocktails, especially in mixed drinks like a gin and tonic. It typically contains carbonated water, sugar, and a hint of bitterness from quinine, which is derived from the bark of the cinchona tree. Tonic water is refreshing and can be enjoyed on its own or as a mixer.
In addition to its use in beverages, tonics can also refer to herbal remedies or supplements that are believed to improve health and vitality. These tonics may include various natural ingredients, such as ginseng or ginger, and are often taken to boost energy or support the immune system.
