Lemon, Lime and Bitters (LLB) is a mixed drink made with lemonade, lime cordial, and Angostura bitters. The lemonade is sometimes substituted with lemon squash instead.

It is often considered to be a non-alcoholic cocktail (or mocktail) due to its exceedingly low alcohol content, though some establishments consider it to be alcoholic and will not serve it without identification or proof of age.

History

Lemon, Lime and Bitters is commonly consumed in Australia and New Zealand where it became customary for golf players to have a drink of LLB after a match of golf.[1]

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.
