Notes

  • There is no ‘one way’ to make Lemon Lime and Bitters so you will find plenty of variations. Some use a pre-mixed lime cordial (squash) rather than fussing with freshly squeezed lime.
  • Some prefer the bitters to be coated around the glass rather than floating it on top, as I have described, which will give the finished drink a much pinker appearance, rather than a deeper red top. As always, cocktails are personal, and I encourage you to be creative and make it the way YOU like it!
  • You can also make Lemon Lime Bitters in party jug format; simply increase your quantities using the buttons above!
