ORIGIN OF TONIKA
Etymologically speaking, tonika comes from the Latin tonĭcus which means tense. It is also related to the Greek tonikos which means “relative to the tone”. The latter also means tense and is related to intensity, strength, vigor and energy.
In this sense, tonika is an energizing, refreshing, transparent, fizzy drink and originally, without alcohol. Currently, it is frequently used in gin and tonic, a drink made up of gin, lemon, and tonic water.
