Bitter lemon

Bitter lemon is a bitter lemon flavoured soft drink . Its signature taste is a result of inherently bitter lemon pith being reinforced by the bitter alkaloid quinine .

The principal difference between tonic water and bitter lemon is the lemon juice, pith, and peel . The juice adds sour, offset by additional sweetener, and the oily peel fragrance.

The generic bitter lemon drink dates back to 1834. ^[1] Schweppes introduced its brand of bitter lemon in 1957. ^[2]

Bitter lemon is consumed both by itself and as a mixer , and is sold around the world. ^[3]
