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 sports 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.
