Lemon, lime and bitters (LLB) is a mixed drink made with clear lemonade, lime cordial, and bitters. The drink may have been invented in Australia as late as the 1880s with the addition of lime to lemonade and bitters, an existing home remedy drink.[1] Today it has been described by the national broadcaster as "Australia's national drink"[2] due to its ubiquity on restaurant menus and availability as a pre-mixed beverage.
It was served as a non-alcoholic alternative to "Pink Gin" (gin mixed with Angostura bitters).[2]
