health tonic

Restorative medicinal drink

A health tonic is a preparation—typically liquid—believed to promote vitality, boost energy, or improve general well-being.

The term carries old-fashioned associations with patent medicines and cure-alls: Grandma swore by her daily health tonic.

Modern usage applies to herbal drinks, vitamin elixirs, and wellness shots marketed with similar promises.
