The spritz looks like it will be, once again, the drink of the season - and it’s not hard to see why. Refreshing and zesty, with that slight bitter edge, it’s basically summer in a glass and we could drink them all day. With Lyre's no-alcohol spirits you actually can – letting you have all the fun without the booze.
Many years in the making, Lyre’s exquisite range of lovingly crafted non-alcoholic spirits was borne from a quest to make the impossible possible – giving the freedom to drink your drink, your way. Whether you don't drink or are sober curious, with Lyre’s it’s up to you – replace some of the alcohol in your drink to make a low alcohol cocktail, or make your classic favourites as a no-alcohol option by selecting from the many variants in Lyre’s extensive range.
