The Chilled 100 and Lyre’s No-ABV Cocktail Series
By Chilled Magazine
Lyre’s invited five of today’s top bartenders from our Chilled 100 Bartenders group to create their best booze-free cocktails
Using Lyre’s exquisite range of expertly crafted non-alcoholic spirits. With a choice in mind, Lyre’s provides an alternative for those who don’t wish to imbibe alcohol and ensure that everyone can enjoy sober socializing, while not sacrificing taste in cocktails and social experiences. As we know, options are important and offering a choice of Low- or No-ABV cocktails on today’s drink menus are a must. So, we asked our Chilled 100 bartenders to create some great tasting, Low and No-ABV cocktails to inspire other bartenders everywhere.
Ana Gonzalez, head bartender at Shelter in Brooklyn created two cocktails both using Lyre’s newly launched agave, non-alcoholic spirits.
