Knick fans can now grab a “Lin and Tonic” or a “Lintini” to wash down their “Lin Burgers.”

Drink and food concoctions are popping up all over town in honor of the Knicks’ newest hero, Jeremy Lin, as his star power continues to climb.

The Lintini is now the house special at Arctica on Third Avenue, where bartender Krista Triviso whips them up for a crowd-pleasing $7.

“This drink kicks ass, just like Jeremy Lin!” declared Melanie Bernstein, 25, of Chelsea.

“Visually, its gorgeous. It’s strong too,” said Triviso, 23.

There are various recipes for the Lin and Tonic.

Arctica is using top-shelf Bombay Sapphire gin, blue Curacao, tonic, a slice of orange and an olive. Arctica is also serving up the Lintini.

Lugo Caffe near Madison Square Garden makes its Lin and Tonic with a brown olive to symbolize a basketball.

The popular Shake Shack is getting in on the action with the Jeremy Lin-Mint, a chocolate mint cookie milk shake.

Over at the Blarney Rock Pub on West 33rd Street, the cooks are serving up a Lin Burger.

“It’s $9.95 and comes with bacon, cheese and barbecue sauce,” said manager Michael Higgins.

“I’d say we’ve seen a 7 to 10 percent bump in business during Knicks games recently, which has been really nice.”

The Village Pourhouse at Third Avenue and East 11th Street is offering up two-for-one “LINtoxicated Bombs” — shots of the Japanese drink Shochu dropped into Chinese Tsingtao beer — for $10.

Linsanity has also swept through Chinatown, where fans last night packed the Nom Wah Tea Parlor on Doyers Street for an MSG-sponsored viewing party.

Nearby, Wallace Lai, owner of Hong Kong Station on Bayard Street, said Lin’s emergence has suddenly made Knick games must-watch TV.

“Whenever there was a Knicks game I would switch the channel because they were so bad,” Lai said.

“Then, all of a sudden, there was a Chinese guy, and I flipped to the MSG channel and he’s playing so well.

“I put the game on every time they play now.”
