Does 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?

Not unless the ginger ale I've been drinking is weird and different...

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?

You lost me at lime cordial. I'm not up on my drinks, but it could very well be an Australian thing.

yes, but it has to be a decent quality lime cordial. DON'T make one with the gross green cottees cordial - think cheap and bright green...
Makes for a feral LLB.
Can also use a squeeze of lime in lemonade, then add bitters.

You lost me at lime cordial too. It should be lime JUICE!

Well, understand I'm not talking about Cottees cordial, here. Expensive cordial. Which basically amounts to really thick juice...
