Lemon, Lime and Bitters (abbreviation: LLB) is a mixed drink that is often considered to be a non-alcoholic cocktail (or mocktail) due to its exceedingly low alcohol content. Yet some few establishments consider it to be alcoholic and will not serve it without identification or proof of age. It is made with lemonade, lime juice or cordial, and bitters. It is sometimes (erroneously) made with lemon squash instead of lemonade.

History

A product of Trinidad and Tobago's Angostura beverage company, Lemon, Lime and Bitters is commonly consumed in New Zealand and Australia, where it became customary for golf players to have a drink of LLB after a round 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.
