Tonic, Volume 8
Release date: March 12, 2026
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:
This volume’s cover art is made by artist, musician and bartender Josh Linfitt. We feature Josh in the Intermission section of the magazine.
In this issue, we travel far and wide. Kate Wickers takes us to Calabria for a taste of bittersweet amaro before moving on to Brazil for an in-depth look at cachaça. Simon Urwin explores the bold wines of Azerbaijan, while Tim Bird joins a lively sahti party in Finland and celebrates Estonian spirits. Juliet Rix introduces us to the spirited women of temperance, and Claire Dodd discovers a beer brewed for teetotal Mormons in Utah. James March highlights Indigenous-owned wineries in British Columbia, Canada.
Benita Finanzio investigates Switzerland’s Ticinese white Merlot, Clinton Cawood searches for a tropical kiki in the Isle of Man, and Andrew Church dives into sake. Along the way, Carol Wright takes a daring sip of bathwater, and Deanna Thomas meets a water sommelier with an expert palate.
These stories remind us that drink is never just a beverage; it encompasses history, culture, rituals, and surprises, all poured into a glass.
