History
Fantasia Punch is a Spanish variation on the Australian Lemon, Lime and Bitters (LLB), a nearly alcohol-free mixture of lemon and lime with a dash of aromatic bitters that is widely regarded as Australia's unofficial national soft drink.
The Fantasia version of this drink, a shaken, citrus-forward variation topped with lemon-lime soda, was discovered in 2004 at the Claris Hotel in Barcelona, Spain.
