Why Lyre's?
Lyre's was established with the aim of changing the way the world drinks and allowing people to make their own choices. We've all been in social circumstances where we'd like to have a drink but, for whatever reason, a non-alcoholic alternative is a better option. The premium non-alcoholic Lyre's range contains the same natural essences, extracts, and distillates that complement the scent, taste, and appearance of the alcoholic Lyre's range.
How is Lyre's made?
From the expert deconstruction of the elements that make the time-honored classic flavours, to the meticulous sourcing of every all-natural, special essence, extract, and distillate from around the world, to the creation of their own proprietary non-alcoholic base, Lyre's is extremely difficult to create. We are very proud of the drinks that Lyre's has made, and we want people to know that we are dedicated to bringing these classic drinks to people who want to make healthy choices. It's one of the reasons we're a luxury product: we pioneered the creation of this new category, allowing people to achieve social freedom and making previously impossible things possible all over the world.
Where is Lyres made?
Lyres is manufactured in Leicestershire - UK, Melbourne - Australia, and Montreal - Canada. The company intends to manufacture Lyres in a variety of markets and main regions around the world in the future.
So, what does Lyre's taste like?
Lyre's flavour is reminiscent of the classic spirit. We were able to source the best all-natural essences, extracts, and distillates from around the world and blend them to fit our own flavour architecture by taking the time to recognise the distinct aromas, tastes, and visual appearance found across each style. No single brand is used as a model; rather, the best features from various styles are reflected in our take on the classic.
What are the best ways to drink Lyre's?
Lyre's has many different non-alcoholic spirits that replicate classic spirits that we all know and love. Want to enjoy a nice gin & tonic, Lyre's Dry London Spirit has you covered. Alternatively, it works great as a base for your favourite cocktails! Lyre's does not contain alcohol or sugar, which is why it is very important to mix Lyre's so the flavour can truly shine through! Trust me, you will not be disappointed. Our serving size recommendation is 50ml over plenty of ice and partnered with a mixer of your choice. Depending on which one of our spirits the garnish will change. You can basically use Lyre’s as a replacement for any drink that you love.

Does Lyre's contain any alcohol?
The Lyre's collection is non-alcoholic, meaning it contains less than 0.5 percent ABV (Alcohol By Volume) (the range sits between 0.2 percent - 0.3 percent ABV). Lyre's, like many drinks – such as Orange Juice or Kombucha – contains small quantities of alcohol. Foods like bread and ripe fruit contain equal (or even higher) quantities of alcohol.
Given the ultra-low levels of trace alcohol in our cocktail, Lyre's does not say a 0.0 percent ABV, but rather that it is a non-alcoholic spirit (less than 0.5 percent ABV). The non-alcoholic beverage classification varies by region, but most legislation falls between a maximum alcohol content of 0.5 percent ABV and 1.2 percent ABV to qualify as a non-alcoholic beverage.
Price range of Lyre’s
Lyre's is a high-end product that took years to perfect, using a library of ingredients from 39 different countries and thorough research. The collection was created for sophisticated, adult tastes, and the flavour architecture required the expertise of a sommelier to create. The cost of this significant development work, as well as the cost of procuring and manufacturing the drinks, is reflected in the price.
Our favorites Lyre’s drinks
So we wanted to share with you 3 of our favourite Lyre’s products from their wide range of non-alcoholic beverages/spirits. First up on our list is Lyre’s London Dry. This one-of-a-kind spirit has been painstakingly designed to capture the essence of a classic Gin, with distinct and contemporary flavours. It has firm flavours of citrus and juniper with earthy undertones, giving it that classic gin taste. It is best enjoyed with tonic water and a slice of lemon or orange.
Next up on our Lyre’s personal favourites is Lyre’s Italian Spritz. This one-of-a-kind aperitif has been meticulously designed to capture the essence of a classic Italian Spritz like Aperol while incorporating distinct and modern flavours. It has a bittersweet flavour and is best served with tonic or soda water and a lemon slice. It can also be used in your favourite cocktails, however, we do not recommend drinking it straight.
Lastly, one of our all time favourite Lyre’s products is Lyre’s Amalfi Spritz RTD. This unique non-alcoholic beverage was crafted to replicate the essence of a sparkling spritz with a mix of different flavours including classic rhubarb, bitter orange with peach and melon notes throughout. Lyre’s Amalfi Spritz RTD are very refreshing and convenient when you want a great alternative to alcohol. These are made ready to drink so they are best served chilled.
Does Lyre’s contain any allergens?
Except for our Cane spirit items (Dark, White, and Spiced), which include barley, all of the ingredients used to meticulously craft Lyres are free of established allergens. All of our products are made with natural ingredients, and we suggest that you read the individual product pages or look at the bottle for more detail on each one.
Can you drink Lyre's if you are pregnant?
Lyre's is perfect for those who simply cannot drink alcohol, including women who are pregnant. We do recommend consulting your doctor first before trying any of our products. It may contain traces of alcohol when consumed without mixing or diluting but we highly recommend that when drinking any Lyre's product, it should always be mixed and diluted, never consumed neat.
How long can I keep Lyre's for?
Lyre’s spirits can last for up to 2 years. However, If you have opened the bottle it is recommended to consume it within 6 months for the best tasting experience. There is no need to refrigerate your Lyre’s, just store it in a cool dry place like you would your alcoholic spirits.
