It is said that the gifts of time and love are surely the basic ingredients of a truly merry Christmas. Anything more is simply an added bonus. But oh, how we do love a good bonus, don’t we?
A bottle of wine or a beautifully packaged bottle of gin is a timeless gift that’ll always bring up a smile. But what can we do to share the moment with our loved ones looking for non-alcoholic alternatives?
Well, this festive season, South Africans can celebrate with Lyre’s, the world’s most awarded, “impossibly crafted” premium quality non-alcoholic spirits’ brand. Their newest collection of tipples is the perfect gift for someone looking for an easy solution to more mindful drinking or even the soberest Scrooge.

It’s the perfect elevated drink experience whether gifting or serving as part of any occasion. Whether it’s for loved ones, in-laws, or just fixing up yours truly, you’ll find Lyre’s non-alcoholic spirits a rather advent-ageous gift option.
Crafted with distinct and contemporary flavours to capture the essence of their alcoholic equivalent counterparts, you can delight in the same delicious experience of your favourite serve all through the festive season, guilt-free.

Lyre’s was created in 2019 by founders Mark Livings and Carl Hartman to pay homage to the world’s most popular spirits in a non-alcoholic format, each as true to taste as the original spirit, with the aim of changing the way the world drinks.
“Silly season involves plenty of social gatherings, but with Lyre’s you can easily moderate your alcohol intake – and, as a bonus, they make an ideal premium gift for family and friends,” says Joe Mthimkhulu, Lyre’s South African Ambassador. “Sleigh your guests with the season’s most lavish non-alcoholic cocktails or spirited gifts and have your drink your way.”

There are five Lyre’s products available in South Africa including: Dry London Spirit (great in a G&T or Southside), Italian Spritz (for the perfect apertif spritz), American MAlt (rich and warm, for the ultimate Old Fashioned or Sour), Coffee Originale (for an Espresso Martini) and White Cane Spirit (for everything from Mojito’s to Pina Colada’s).
