What to do with Schweppes Bitter Lemon?
Yep, I've adopted Fever Tree as my go-to bitter lemon as well. Still prefer SBL when I can get it, but Fever Tree is very, very good.
Where can I get Schweppes Bitter Lemon?
Got a surprise in London -- my airline club has replaced Schweppes Bitter Lemon with something called Britvic Bitter Lemon. Interestingly, the ingredient list for BBL is almost identical to SBL, except no stabilizers and a bit more lemon:

Sure enough, it's got a more lemony aroma and taste than SBL. An excellent alternative to SBL.
Sadly, Britvic doesn't seem to be available in the US, even via an importer. So SBL from BritishGoods.com is still the best option for US bitter lemon lovers. Getting ready to order my second shipment.:)
Where can I get Schweppes Bitter Lemon?
Success! Arrived today from BritishFoods.
Glass bottles - that surprised me. All arrived safely, though swaddled in bubblewrap and floated in an ocean of styrofoam peanuts.
Goiing to London in a couple weeks. I'm going to bring home a can from the airline club and do a taste comparison.:)

Nope. Interestingly, though, it includes both sugar and saccharin. The ingredients are on this page: http://www.ocado.com/webshop/product/Schweppes-Bitter-Lemon/22676011?parentContainer=BOP_&tab=nutritionInfo&ignore=this

I didn't want the 1.5L because it will get flat before I finish it.

Minimum shipping on Britishgoods is $9.
I didn't check shipping at Curiosityshop.
I ordered 20 125ml bottles tonight on Britishgoods for a total of $34. (Minimum purchase is $25 bucks, which equals 20 bottles.)
Schweppes Bitter Lemon
At Binny's in Skokie yesterday, I was told that "Scheweppe's Bitter Lemon isn't available to us anymore." They had Stirring's Bitter Lemon, which I bought and tried, but it's not comparable to Schweppe's.
