Notes

There is no ‘one way’ to make Lemon Lime and Bitters so you will find plenty of variations. Some use a pre-mixed lime cordial (squash) rather than fussing with freshly squeezed lime.

Some prefer the bitters to be coated around the glass rather than floating it on top as we have described which will give the finished drink a much pinker appearance, rather than a deeper red top. As always cocktails are personal and we encourage you to be creative and make it the way YOU like it!

You can also make Lemon Lime Bitters in party jug format, simply increase your quantities.
