Bitter Lemon (Variation)

Bitter Lemon (Variation)

Schweppes Bitter Lemon was hard to find in the US during the best of times.  Since I don't get to Europe often enough I wanted a more cost-effective substitute that didn't involve paying shipping to any online importers.  The real Schweppes has a stronger lemony punch and a lot more sugar which I still miss, but this version has a much fresher vibe than Fever Tree.  (Sorry Fever Tree.  I still like your products a lot.)



  • Juice of 1/3 lemon
  • 6 dashes Angostura Bitters
  • 8 oz tonic water (1 can Hansen's)
  1. Combine juice and bitters, and top off with tonic water.
