Lemon, lime and bitters (LLB) is a mixed drink made with clear lemonade, lime cordial, and bitters. The drink may have been invented in Australia as late as the 1880s with the addition of lime to lemonade and bitters, an existing home remedy drink.{{Cite web |title=1872 Lemonade and bitters recommended to MPs |url=https://australianfoodtimeline.com.au/lemonade-and-bitters/ |website=Australian Food Timeline}} Today it has been described by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation as "Australia's national drink" due to its ubiquity on restaurant menus and availability as a pre-mixed beverage.

It was served as a non-alcoholic alternative to "Pink Gin" (gin mixed with Angostura bitters).{{cite news |last1=Kriewaldt |first1=Kit |title=The curious origins of the lemon, lime and bitters, Australia's national drink |url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-12-08/lemon-lime-and-bitters-australias-national-drink/10591442 |accessdate=8 December 2018 |work=ABC News |date=8 December 2018 |language=en-AU}}
