Lemon, Lime and Bitters

This is a very popular non-alcoholic* drink in Australia. Its distinguishing taste comes from the use of Angostura bitters.

*Although angostura bitters has an alcohol content of around 45%, as used in LLB, the final concentration in the prepared drink is tiny.

INGREDIENTS

• Water; or tonic water; or a citrus-based soda.
   
• 1 lime.
   
• 1 lemon.
   
• Angostura bitters

METHOD
 

1. Place crushed ice into a glass.
    
2. Squeeze some lime juice into the glass.
    
3. Squeeze some lemon juice into the glass.
    
4. Add liberal dashes of Angostura bitters into the glass.
    
5. Top up with either water, tonic water, or a citrus-based soda.
    

n.b. if you like your drink sweet, you can add simple syrup (sugar water) to the mix.
