Safe to say, the lemon, lime and bitters club was getting a bit of a members-only vibe. We decided it was high time to shake things up. So we chucked the lemon, kept the unmistakeable tartness of lime and angosturo bitters, but introduced a fresh burst of mandarins to the mix. Smells like Johnny’s just peeled open a juicy one, right in the middle of the club. It’s a wake up call to the tradition brigade.

Very refreshing drink
+ PROS: Taste is great, not too strong
- CONS:Has to be cold, would not be pleasant at room temperature
I loved the addition of mandarin instead of lemon. It was a subtle mandarin taste which I loved. The flavors were well balanced. And the other thing that was really nice about it, is that it is not super sweet. Just the right amount of sweetness I believe. I would definately buy this, if I wanted a refreshing carbonated drink. Yum !
+ PROS: Lovely flavour
Not too sweet
Refreshing
Something a bit different
OMG the flavour is something to give a big high five for. Just like their pineapple one (which I have not been able to buy again as I have not seen it up for sale since) it is so addictive once you take a sip you can’t stop until it is all gone to the very last drop. I have seen it up for sale but never brought it as the wording of bitters always put me off thinking it would be bitter tasting. I will be going out and buying this great drink to have for summer and Christmas drinks mixer. I am giving it a 5-star for flavour but please fix the hard to get off and dangerously sharp lids.
+ PROS: great flavour
light bubbles
easy drinking
very refreshing
easy on the stomach
great drink mixer for cocktails
Love that it is an NZ product thanks MAC's
- CONS:lid was hard to remove for someone with weakness in hands and wrist and some elderly people.
Lid very sharp so have to be careful when recycling
Really enjoyed the Mandarin Lime and Bitters … really unique and different taste … very refreshing!
I’d buy this if it were on sale, it comes in slightly below Lemon Lime and Bitters for me, and about equal with Ginger Beer.
+ PROS: Unique taste
Refreshing
- CONS:Bottle too small
