Chilled 100 Bartenders - Lyre’s Cocktails by Choice

Cocktails by Choice

with the Chilled 100 and Lyre’s

We invited five of today’s influential members from our Chilled 100 Bartenders group to create unique and interesting cocktails using one of Lyre’s exquisite range of non-alcoholic spirits.

With a spirited choice in mind, Lyre’s provides an alternative for those who do not wish to drink alcohol during a social event. Ensuring that everyone has the power to choose is essential to the Lyre’s brand, especially while not having to sacrifice tasty cocktails.

These one-of-a-kind Chilled 100 no-ABV Lyre’s cocktails inspire bartenders everywhere to offer drinks programs with choices.
