deird_ljDoes the rest of the world seriously NOT have lemon lime and bitters?
(By which I mean the drink known as LL&B - I'm aware that you guys have lemons.)
o.O
How will I survive?

Date: 2008-12-09 11:43 pm (UTC)Think
1) fizzy lemony drinks
2) lime cordial
3) that all-important dash of bitters.
Gorgeous, gorgeous drink - found in every single cafe/restaurant that sells alcohol (and a few that technically don't). And apparently it's Australian?

I finally worked it out after lots of pub visits... and lots of drinks of lemonADE.
And now I can't even remember what it was!

Wowee. I thought it was more of a girly drink no-one really had, but I guess I'm wrong.

Date: 2008-12-10 09:00 pm (UTC)2) Lime Cordial - not sure of any specific brand names, but if you get some high quality lime cordial or lime juice, that'd be about right.
3) Lemony stuff
Hmm...
This is the confusing one, because Australia uses the words "lemonade" and "lemon squash" differently to the rest of the world, and I'm not sure how you would use them.
Think very, very lemony stuff, as a fizzy drink.
Um...
By "fizzy drink" I mean soda (or whatever you call it in MS).
Anyway, the drink is:
-mostly very fizzy lemony stuff
-plus a small amount of lime cordial
-plus a very small amount of bitters
When it's all put together (un-stirred), it should look yellow up the top, and red down the bottom.

I mean, you'd have to spell it out for the bar staff (except, presumbly for all the Aussies), but the fixings are there.
