Are you being misled by the term "bitter lemon"? This is a popular British soft drink, originated by Schweppes, which appears to be similar to the lemon tonic mentioned in the recipe. I don't know how similar the two drinks are as I have never heard of lemon tonic until today.
I'm familiar with the soft drink. I was just wondering if there were some additional bitters, e.g. Angostura, in this recipe at one point and that maybe that was why it is listed as a cocktail with alcohol.
30ml lime juice is too much imo
Many thanks for letting me know. I have amended info above accordingly.
I'd also say that this is more usually a combination of a jonge jenever rather than an old and just a regular pilsener beer, whatever's on tap. The kopstoot is a bit old-fashioned I suppose, so I'm not entirely sure.
It's also costumary to have jenever, whether combined with a beer or not, straight from the fridge, poured right in front of the costumer to the very top of the tulip glass so there's a bit of a bulb at the top and the costumer has to bend their head towards the glass to drink the first sip so as not to spill. This part I'm sure of, since I was instructed to do so when I briefly worked in a bar in the Netherlands.
Two dashes of saline solution, is that correct? I usually just see a few drops in recipes.
This shows up as a cocktail with alcohol for some reason.
Maybe this recipe used to have bitters at one point or something? Only thing I can think of.

I have a saved search that I use that should exclude non-alcoholic recipes. I also have a different saved search that only has non-alcoholic recipes and it doesn't show up there.

Technically you'd still need dry martini for this.
Forgive me if this is a dumb question, but in all these recipes where grenadine/pomegranate syrup is used and it says 2:1, does that mean 2 parts syrup and 1 part water?
Works great as a gin tonic too. I poured right over ice and added 120 ml tonic water.
Just a heads up: I've noticed that for some reason Bacardi shows up in red with this cocktail, as if it's a missing ingredients. I do have it in my ingredients though. Not just a light rum but the exact Bacardi Carta Blanca even. I've noticed this at some other cocktails as well.
As a Dutch native speaker, I'd say pronunciation is closer to cop-stoat and translates literally to headbutt.
