The dose of alcoholic bitters is so tiny compared to the overall volume of this cocktail that this mocktail is probably less alcoholic than most ripe bananas. But equally as tasty.

Can I boil my angostura bitters to kill alcohol in it?

Four dashes are going to add so little alcohol that doesn't seem worth the effort. Please boiling will also reduce and concentrate the flavours.

The bitters have special good aroma. Australian love lemonade so much. I prefer to add more lemon juice to balance the sweet from sprite.

This is one cocktail that will start holy wars in Australia.
In the West, lime cordial and lemon squash (eg Solo) is the standard (although a lime juice version is acceptable). Try that in Melbourne, and you're likely to wear the drink!
