Lemon, lime and bitters

Lemon, lime and bitters is a mixed drink made with clear lemonade, lime cordial, and bitters. The drink is thought to have been invented in Australia sometime in the 1880s with the addition of lime to lemonade and bitters, an existing home remedy drink. It has been described by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation as "Australia's national drink" 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".
