Schweppes Bitter Lemon is a refreshing drink with an intense lemon note and a pronounced bitterness. The clear, sparkling carbonation provides a tingling freshness, while the citrusy sharpness of the lemon, combined with the distinctive, slightly bitter taste of quinine, gives it its unmistakable character. The taste is strong and complex, refreshing and slightly bitter at the same time, and is reminiscent of a mixture of sour lemonade and the dry aftertaste of tonic water. Perfect as a thirst quencher or in cocktails.
