Back to the recipe
Only this sheet prints - the size above is what it is set to.
Ingredients
- 900 ml Lemonade - Cloudy and sharp rather than sweet - this is the body of the drink
- 120 ml Lime juice - Or lime cordial, which is the traditional version and a very different drink
- 24 dashes Angostura bitters - A dash of bitters carries a trace of alcohol - leave it out, and add a little more lime, if that matters
- 6 wedges Lime wedge (optional)
Pitcher (6 drinks) - about 1.02 l of measured ingredients, before ice and dilution.
Timings and per-glass steps are written for one drink and are not scaled. A full jug takes longer to chill, so stir or shake until it is properly cold rather than by the clock, and pour over fresh ice one glass at a time.
Quick version
- Pour the lemonade over ice, add the lime and four good dashes of bitters.
Method
- Fill a highball glass almost to the top with ice.
- Pour in the lemonade and the lime juice.
- Add four dashes of Angostura bitters across the top - they will colour the drink the moment they hit it.
- Add a wedge of lime and stir once, from the bottom.
