In Australia I used to grab Schweppes bitter lemon to mix with vodka every so often but here everything is sweet and nothing is even close to having a bite. Has anyone found anything thats similar to bitter lemon here or is it a lost cause, been looking for years but yet to find something and orange juice is simply too sweet. If I want a drink now all I can do is buy the smirnoff ice mixer with the lemon flavour

Buy soda water and squeeze a fresh lemon into it.

Schweppes soda manao is quite refreshing with Vodka or gin.

or grow up and drink vodka pure.....

These mixes are something for children and girls.....

Don't speak Polish, but I drink Polish (vodka).

Tops have bickfords lemon, lime or ginger ale flavour..add that to soda water

As uptheos said, manao is refreshing, especially with vodka. Soda water with a dash of lime is just as nice.

It is hard to get decent non sugary drinks here,even the orange juice seems to have added sugar,this is a reason why many Thai's now have blood sugar problems and are obese,when i first came here in 1989,no way was there so many fatties,why,because back then,there were no 7/11.no western food[apart from the big hotels],jeez,we could hardly get any bread,in Bangkok,Koa san road had a few bars,and a few cheap guest houses,i went to Koh samet,and was always hungry,for chips[crisps],and chocolate bars like snickers,now like the Usa,sugar in everything.

Especially in EVERY Thai food...

vodka / tonic water as swap/brand /and ice with slice of 2-3 lime . grey goose vodka ,,, in joy mate

Canada Dry I not found here also difficult in eu land but in us I drink a lot , not sure where this company coming from but was tastefully

A triple distiled vodka with a fleck of vinegar in the lime twangs it up......from a buddy who bartends at the Beverly Hills Hotel...........

I am sure Makro has Schweppes Bitter Lemon. Does it taste different here then in Australia?

On the Singapore airways flight last week i notched Bitter Lemon on the menu .Genuine Schweppes it was. Had myself a couple just to test for quality but because it contains quinine i have to be careful with my my medications . But anything in near moderation i guess.

​Tonic Water is a good substitute .

Bitter Lemon readily available in Macro

tried it but it is not strong enough, they must just wave the lemon over it as there is bugger all taste

Buy soda water and squeeze a fresh lemon into it.

thats what I drink now but it lacks the real bite

Schweppes bitter lemon ... ahh, memories. I like to make a couple of litres of cold brewed tea every week, and then top it up with lots of fresh squeezed lime. Arghhh, brrrrrr (rubber lips), yik-yik-yik. Dammn that's nice.

Brickfords also market a bitter lemon cordial in Oz . Not too bad but still has a tad too much sugar sweetness . I sometimes think we are to scared to really savor bitter as a sensation and a flavor in itself. I should add i can eat a lemon or lime just as easily as a mandarin.The bitter lemon cordial is nice mixed with lemonade or soda water . It is no where good enough to let it pollute good gin though . The Brickfords ginger is good too.

Yep. The lemon is rather subtle but it is there.

I don't know where you are in Thailand but I can buy it in Macro, Big C and Tesco Lotus in Pattaya. Its in a green and yellow can.

thanks everyone, found Manao soda at Macro and its not bad, has a bite to so should go well, thanks again for all the help, I appreciate it.

Cheers
