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 very low alcohol content. It is made with lemonade (British Commonwealth definition. US term is "Lemon Lime Soda" or Sprite), lime juice or cordial, and bitters. It is sometimes (erroneously) made with lemon squash instead of lemonade.

[edit] History
Lemon, Lime and Bitters originated in Australia, where it became customary for golf players to have a drink of LLB after a round of golf.[1] Over 50 million LLB are consumed each year in Australia alone.[2]
It is still relatively unknown in North America, despite the prevalence of all three ingredients.
