Lemon, lime & bitters in Australia.

How does a drink become part of a country's culture? It certainly takes a special drink, one that caters for a real need of the consumer.

Well that’s what has happened in Australia.

Australia is a sport’s mad society. Virtually everyone participates in some form or another in sport. The climate certainly encourages the population to venture outdoors.

Golf is the leading participation sport in Australia and whilst golf is a prestigious sport it is accessible to all. There are some 900 registered golf clubs in Australia, catering for 1.4 million players, who play 33 million rounds each year.

It is here that we find the origins of Angostura lemon, lime & bitters.

At the traditional 19th hole, it is almost mandatory to enjoy a refreshing Angostura lemon, lime & bitters. The tradition has been handed down through the generations, after a round of golf, when you are hot and thirsty the first thing you ask for is an Angostura lemon, lime & bitters.

This tradition still accounts for quite a lot of the 50 million Angostura lemon, lime & bitters consumed each year in Australia. However the drink has reached out from it’s origins into the general community.
 
Many other sporting activities finish with a refreshing lemon, lime & bitters. Participants in tennis, lawn bowls, squash, football and even a day swimming or surfing at the beach all refresh themselves with an Angostura lemon, lime & bitters.

Office workers at lunch, diners in restaurants, as a pre-dinner drink, both male and female of all ages, enjoy this drink that has become part of the Australian culture.


Angostura lemon, lime & bitters, try it next time you need a refreshing lift.
