Lemon lime bitters
Description
Lemon lime bitters is prepared by filling a glass partially with ice and pouring over lemonade and freshly squeezed lime juice. A few dashes of Angostura or similar bitters are added to introduce aromatic bitterness and depth. The mixture is gently stirred, taking care not to blend fully so as to preserve a layered color effect.
The drink delivers a cool, citrus-forward profile with subtle spiced notes from the bitters. The sparkling lemonade base provides sweetness and fizz, contrasting with the sharp lime acidity and complexity from the bitters.
Commonly garnished with a lime slice or peel, this beverage is served chilled as a refreshing non-alcoholic option suitable for warm weather or casual occasions.
Ingredients
- ice Enough to fill the glass ½ - ¼ of the way
- 250 millilitre lemonade
- 20 millilitre lime juice freshly squeezed
- 5-10 dashes Angostura bitters or other bitter of your choice
Instructions
- Add your preferred amount of ice to the glass.
- Add the lemonade and lime juice. Give it a quick stir.
- Add a few dashes of bitters to taste.
- Give it a brief stir but be cautious not to overdo it. The goal is to maintain that ombre effect, with most of the orange settling at the top.
- Decorate the glass with a straw and a slice of lime, or lime peel twisty. Enjoy!
