It’s the second week of Dry July, and you might be starting to miss your usual drinks. But don't worry—this month is about more than just giving up alcohol. It's a chance to discover great non-alcoholic options that keep your nights lively and your mornings refreshing. Initially, Dry July started to raise funds and awareness for cancer patients, but it has also become a popular health trend worldwide. Whether you're taking a break for health reasons or just exploring new options, Dry July is the perfect opportunity. This week, we highlight a fantastic choice: Lyre’s Amaretti.


Redefined Drinking Lifestyle with Lyre's

Lyre's is changing the way we think about beverages by providing exceptional non-alcoholic spirits. They aim to allow everyone to enjoy their favourite drinks without the alcohol. It’s not about missing out—it's about enjoying each sip and waking up feeling great. With their focus on high-quality, carefully crafted drinks, Lyre's offers a new way to appreciate the flavour and tradition of classic spirits, ensuring you never feel like you're compromising.

Lyre's Amaretti

Lyre’s Amaretti is not just any non-alcoholic spirit; it's a game-changer in the realm of alcohol-free beverages. Impossibly crafted to capture the essence of a classic amaretto, Amaretti delivers a robust almond flavour with a tangy spice that balances the sweetness of candied vanilla. What makes it stand out is its ability to replicate the complexity of traditional amaretto, offering a rich and satisfying experience without a drop of alcohol. Its nutty and sweet profile, complemented by a slight bitterness from the almonds, creates a well-rounded and long-lasting finish. Whether enjoyed neat, over ice, or in a creative cocktail, Lyre’s Amaretti proves that you don't need alcohol to indulge in a sophisticated and delightful drink.

Tasting Notes and Versatility

So, what’s the buzz about Lyre’s Amaretti? Let’s dive into its flavour profile. On the palate, you get a full-on almond experience, enhanced with a tangy spice that keeps the nutty and candied vanilla flavours balanced and medium-sweet. It’s like a liquid marzipan, but not overwhelmingly so. The sugar levels are perfectly balanced by the natural bitterness of almonds, giving it a long, generous finish. And then there’s the bouquet—a rich blend of almond, vanilla, marzipan, peach, caramel, and hints of maraschino. It’s an olfactory delight that promises an equally delightful tasting experience.


Serving Suggestions

Lyre’s Amaretti is incredibly versatile. Serve it as a classic liqueur digestif on ice, or get creative with cocktails. How about an Amaretto Sour? Shake it with fresh lemon and bitters, and you’ve got a refreshing, zesty drink that’ll make you forget there’s no alcohol involved. For the sweet-toothed, try it over your favourite ice-cream with a shot of espresso for the ultimate Lyre’s Affogato. Trust me, this one’s a game-changer.


Perfect for Dry July

This isn’t just about swapping out your favourite amaretto for a non-alcoholic version. It’s about enjoying the same complexity and satisfaction in a drink, while sticking to your Dry July commitment. Lyre’s Amaretti is perfect for those cosy winter nights ahead. Sip it slowly and let its rich flavours warm you up, or shake things up with a creative cocktail that’ll impress even the most discerning drinkers.
