The principal difference between tonic water and bitter lemon is the addition of lemon juice and rind. Bitter lemon is drunk both by itself, and as a mixer and is sold across the world.

We’d drink a can or two,
And out and lay our leadership
On country and on town,
Throw likely couples into bed
And knock the others down.”

Or ere your pulse twice beat.”
