Tonic, Volume 4 – The Midnight Stroll
Release date: February 10, 2023
Tonic is our biannual print magazine which focuses on the history, customs and sheer pleasure of alcohol.
Like all good cocktails, the trick is in the mix. Each globetrotting issue brings you a blend of thoughtful long-form journalism, plus shorter works and captivating visual stories decanted into a beautifully crafted magazine.
The base ingredients are worthy too. Our constellation of writers are alcohol experts for publications including The Times, The Atlantic, Vanity Fair and The Guardian.
In short, Tonic will illuminate a different side to your favourite drinks and inspire you to visit the destinations you read about, some of which may be on your doorstep.
In this issue:
Tonic volume 4 features a specially commissioned cover image by Artist Emilie de Black.
