BITTER LEMON SODA
This is very much like Krest® Bitter Lemon (found in Africa) or Schweppes® Bitter Lemon (found in Europe). Unfortunately there is nothing comparable found in the USA, but this comes pretty darn close! This is the perfect thirst quencher for a blistering hot day!

BITTER GREENS SALAD WITH LEMON-MUSTARD DRESSING
This recipe, adapted from the Los Angeles restaurant Mozza, dresses mixed frisée lightly, with a simple dressing of two kinds of mustard, lemon juice and olive oil. It's done in minutes, and serves as a light, tart side for pretty much any occasion, whether a holiday feast or a weeknight meal.

BITTER LEMON
This is a British cousin of American lemonade. Makes an excellent mixer for gin, vodka, and tequila. Personally, I like it mixed with tonic water or soda water and poured over crushed ice on a hot summer day.
