Bitter Lemon is a carbonated soft drink infused with lemon juice and quinine, the latter contributing its signature bitter flavor. Originating from European innovation in the mid-20th century, it belongs to the family of tonic beverages often enjoyed on its own or as a mixer in cocktails. Nutritionally, Bitter Lemon typically contains water, sugar, citric acid, quinine, and natural or artificial flavorings. While its citrus content provides a small amount of vitamin C, the high sugar levels in many commercial versions make it less suitable for regular consumption. Quinine, historically used in small quantities in tonic water to combat malaria, offers a distinct, crisp taste but is minimal in therapeutic value today. Bitter Lemon is favored for its refreshing complexity but is best consumed in moderation, especially if opting for brands with added sugars or sweeteners. Choose low-sugar or diet versions for a healthier alternative.
