LOVE IS
IN THE AIR
We always love a G&T...
Serving some of the prettiest thirst-
quenching drinks we’ve seen in a while is
Tonic ... one of the latest additions to the
quirkily trendy suburb of Linden! With its
selection of signature G&Ts, gorgeous,
molecular gin cocktails, a small menu
of delectable snack options and the
magnificent, Insta-worthy interior, this
spot is a definite go-to for gin lovers (and
romantic lovers too, for that matter). The
intimate setting provides the perfect spot
to appreciate some deliciously unusual
G&T combinations, with more than 80
different gins and 20 different tonics –
sourced locally and internationally – to
choose from. So, the next time you’re
longing for an ice-cold G&T, or looking for
an unusual afternoon drinks spot ... this
