History
Founded in 2019 by a group of passionate beverage innovators, Lyre’s Spirit Co. was born out of a desire to create non-alcoholic versions of beloved spirits, offering a world of flavor for those who wish to enjoy the social aspects of drinking while remaining alcohol-free. The founders recognized a gap in the market for complex, rich flavors that mirrored traditional spirits but without the alcohol content. Over the years, Lyre’s has achieved significant milestones, such as receiving numerous prestigious awards, including the Best New Spirit or Cocktail at the Tales of the Cocktail Spirited Awards in 2022. This recognition solidified their reputation as the most awarded non-alcoholic spirits brand in the world, celebrated for their innovative approach to traditional spirits and cocktails.
Geography
While the brand originates from Carlsbad, California, the production side is significantly influenced by its ties to the United Kingdom where Lyre’s Spirit Co. operates, particularly with their facility located in Rickmansworth, UK. This location is strategically advantageous, as it allows the distillers to utilize high-quality natural ingredients sourced locally. The temperate climate of this area contributes to the creation of refined flavors, and proximity to water sources supports the meticulous process of distillation. Furthermore, the soil of the region provides a rich agricultural backdrop for herbal and botanical ingredients that enhance the profiles of their non-alcoholic spirits.
