Beer not quite your poison? It’s not just the brew that is now alcohol-free. Down in Australia, the wonderful people at Lyre’s Spirit Co. have created a full range of alcohol-free spirits. After spending years in research and experimenting, Lyre’s exquisite range of alcohol-free, classic spirits was borne from a quest to make the impossible possible. Now here’s an alternative for those who don’t wish to imbibe but still want to enjoy all aspects of an evening soiree. Lyre’s spirits even look and taste just like the original to complete the experience! Drop by the pub for a G&T, a Negroni, a Spritz, or a Manhattan—all alcohol-free and resolution-safe!
Similarly, Seedlip from the UK has taken the world by storm and made its way to the Hong Kong market. Their three varietals—Grove 42, Garden 108, and Spice 94—make for a great range of gin-like cocktails with deliciously adult flavours.
Even vino is getting an alcohol-free makeover; Fre Wines from sunny California are made in the same way as traditional wine, right up to the point when the wine is complete with rich flavour, texture, and excellent balance. Then it gets interesting: state-of-the-art spinning cone technology is used to remove the alcohol while preserving the wine’s delicate aromas and flavours, so Fre Wines are transformed into robust, flavourful wines—minus the alcohol. Wine and dine is back on the cards, even in Dry January!
