Bitter lemon is a carbonated soft drink. it is flavoured with lemon and quinine. The bitter taste comes from the quinine and the lemon pith. Bitter lemon is not the same as tonic water. The main difference is the addition of lemon juice and rind. Bitter lemon is drunk by itself but it is very often used as a mixer. The first bitter lemon drinks date back to 1834.
