Frequently Asked Questions

How does Lyre’s replicate the taste of spirits without alcohol?

Lyre’s uses a combination of natural essences, extracts, and distillates from botanicals, fruits, and other plant sources to reconstruct the flavor compounds responsible for the characteristic taste of each spirit category. The formulas are proprietary but the approach is essentially reverse-engineering: identifying what makes gin taste like gin (juniper, angelica, citrus peel, coriander) and sourcing or producing non-alcoholic extracts of those specific compounds. The result is not identical to alcohol-based spirits — alcohol itself contributes to mouthfeel and carries flavor differently than water-based carriers — but the flavor profiles are significantly closer than flavored sparkling water or fruit juice alternatives.

Are Lyre’s products truly zero alcohol?

Lyre’s products are produced to less than 0.5% ABV, which is the international standard for “alcohol-free” labeling — the same threshold used for kombucha, ripe fruit, and many fermented foods. They are not distilled spirits that have had alcohol removed; they are formulated from scratch without fermentation or distillation of alcohol. For anyone avoiding alcohol entirely for medical, religious, or personal reasons, Lyre’s is a substantively different product from dealcoholized wine or beer, which starts with alcohol and then removes it.
