Lemon, lime and bitters


Lemon, lime and bitters is a mixed drink made with lemonade, lime cordial, and Angostura bitters. The lemonade is sometimes substituted with soda water or lemon squash, which is more akin to what is called “lemonade” in North America.
Angostura LLB is also now available as a "pre-mixed" beverage in a can. This is available in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Trinidad & Tobago, Barbados and elsewhere throughout the Caribbean, where the beverage's popularity has increased since its introduction in the region in the mid 2010s.
It was served as a non-alcoholic alternative to "Pink Gin".
An ABC News article published in 2018 described lemon, lime and bitters as "Australia's national drink".
It is often considered to be a non-alcoholic cocktail due to its exceedingly low alcohol content, though some establishments consider it to be alcoholic and will not serve it without identification or proof of age.

History

Lemon, Lime and Bitters is commonly consumed in Australia and New Zealand where it became customary for golf players to have a drink of LLB after a match of golf.
It is made to order in most bars but a pre-mixed version is made by a number of soft drink companies and this version is widely available in supermarkets.
