My friend keeps mentioning that it's what she drinks when goes out, but when she comes round I want to make it for her.

What is it? Something to do with Angostura Bitters?

Sounds like bitter with a twist of lime to me, but then again what is Angostura Bitters?

Hi yes its lemonade lime and a dash of Angosturas Bitters, and its yummy, dont see it here but had loads over there in bars and you can buy bottles of it ready made in the supermarket

if you make it yourself go easy on the bitters as it can be poisonous in large doses.

and you have to call it 'lemon, lime and bitters' or they don't know what you're talking about. I was calling it 'bitters, lime and lemonade' - got laughed at and then corrected. There was me thinking it's the same thing......
