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 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.
