tonic
Quinine water, bubbly
Tonic connects to tension and restoration.
In music, the tonic is the first note of a scale—the home base that resolves tension.
A tonic is also something that restores vigor or well-being: The vacation was a tonic for her spirits.
Tonic water is a carbonated mixer with quinine, traditionally paired with gin.
In medicine, tonic describes sustained muscle contraction, as in a tonic seizure.
