Anyone ever see Bitter Orange or Bitter Lemon carbonated soda anymore (typically Schweppes)? According to the bottler’s web-site, they exist - at least there’s a photo - but no response from their e-mail (surprise…).

Always liked the stuff as a mixer, even by itself. Saw it recently in Samoa (imported from NZ).

I love Canada Dry’s Bitter Lemon but also have trouble finding it in Ohio. I spoke to a sales rep who said some bottlers still make it, it’s just a matter of finding it in stores. I found this site, and may have to order some.
