tommydog, what is it that you're making?
I'm wondering if Bundaberg Lemon, Lime & Bitters would be a suitable substitute for the limeade but maybe someone else knows what the limeade is actually like, in which case they'll no doubt be more able to suggest a substitute. :-))

Yes it is. I make lavender limeade which is basically like a home made lemonade with lavender in it as well. It's lovely.

What exactly does your recipe call for? If you need limeade like darlingmole's recipe that will work, but most Americans buy limeade in a frozen tube. It is super concentrated and you just defrost and add water.

Heres my recipe
6 cups water 1 3/4 cups sugar, or to taste 1/4 cup dried lavender flowers 1 teaspoon lime zest 1 cup fresh-squeezed lime juice lime slices as optional garnish
Combine 2 cups water, sugar, lavender and lime zest in a sauce pan. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring until the sugar completely dissolves.
Remove the pan from the heat and let the syrup stand for 10 minutes. Strain the syrup into a bowl and discard the lavender flowers.
Stir the syrup, lime juice and remaining 4 cups of water together in a large pitcher. Chill before serving. Serve over ice. Garnish each serving with a fresh lime slice if desired. Make sure you use an English or culinary lavender- they have the sweet taste you want instead of a camphor taste as you will get with others.

I do a sort of daquiri with roses lime, that's yum. Daquiri is the same as a margarita but swaps the bicardi for tequila. But I noticed Charlies do a limeade (in the chiller section) so that would be nicer as it is 'fresher' than cordial.
