Bitter lemon is a carbonated soft drink flavored with lemon and quinine, giving it a distinctively tart and slightly bitter taste. It's typically less sweet than other lemon-flavored sodas. It’s often used as a mixer in cocktails, particularly with gin or vodka, but can be enjoyed on its own over ice. Think of it like lemonade's sophisticated, slightly rebellious cousin. 🍋
Bitter lemon originated in the British Empire, where quinine was used to prevent malaria. The bitter taste of quinine was masked with lemon and sugar, creating a palatable and refreshing drink. Over time, it evolved into a commercial soft drink. It’s a testament to how necessity can lead to flavorful innovation. 🕰️
