Non alcoholic spirits reviews full#
The category is full of jargon, and it’s inconsistent when it comes to labeling. One of the many things we learned about nonalcoholic wines is that shopping for them can be tricky.
(By the way, if you’re seeking a nonalcoholic drink that isn’t wine, we have recommendations for those, too.) But this guide is meant to help anyone who’s looking for something special to drink that’s nonalcoholic, whether you’re sober, tonight’s designated driver, a host looking for nonalcoholic options for your guests, or just someone hoping to avoid a hangover.Īfter considering nearly 80 bottles for testing and sampling more than 20, we landed on eight that are satisfyingly complex and special enough to sip and savor when you’re celebrating or just enjoying some time alone. What led me to seek them out was my pregnancy-and my desperation to drink something other than soda for nine straight months. This is the best non-alcoholic dessert drink we've had.There are plenty of reasons why people drink nonalcoholic wines. You wouldn't tell the difference between this and its alcoholic counterpart. Overall, it's an incredible substitute for an amaretto sour. The cocktail tastes less sweet and you get more of a marshmallow, caramel flavor - like a piña colada. And, honestly, we liked it better than a regular amaretto sour. We mixed an amaretto sour with the Amaretti. And the flavor is well blended (a lot of non-alcoholic spirits can "come apart" or taste a bit fragmented when you drink them). Lyre's Amaretti is great treat for a sweeter mixed drink or end-of-night sipper. The spirit's sweetness is actually the interrupter - the quality that keeps you from gulping it down. It's got a good texture - bordering on syrupy (thanks to the 5 grams of sugar per ounce).ĭon't let the sugar content dissuade you. However, it's a nice, sweet drink with toasty vanilla notes. But you don't get that alcoholic bite when you take a sip. The amaretti definitely smells like an alcoholic amaretto. We tasted both spirits on their own, then mixed a cocktail with each. Before they were made available to the general public, The Zero Proof was lucky to receive early bottles of the Amaretti and White Cane Spirit to taste. Lyre's is now available for purchase in the TZP Bottle Shop.
It was exciting to discover non-alcoholic products that could sit on the back bar like an alcoholic spirit and the medals reflect how impressed we were with the quality across the range," Anthony Dias Blue, the competition's founder and executive director said of Lyre's. "The judges tasted Lyre's against alcoholic counterparts in the aperitif, coffee liqueur, fruit liqueur, nut liqueur, other whiskey, and sugar cane spirits categories. Lyre's was actually tasted against its alcoholic peers. And these weren't medals for the non-alc category. In April, Lyre's won ten medals at the 2020 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, including two gold medals for their Aperitif Rosso and Dark Cane Spirit. And an incredible amount of time, thought and science went into making these flavors as close to their alcoholic counterparts as possible. It's an impressive roster for a new brand. Lyre's has a range of 13 "impossibly crafted" non-alcoholic spirits, including a Dry London Spirit (its gin alternative), American Malt (whisky) White Cane Spirit (clear rum). So you can probably guess why Lyre's - an Australian brand of non-alcoholic spirits - chose the bird as its namesake.
and other, less natural sounds like car alarms and chainsaws (check out this incredible video of the bird narrated by David Attenborough). The bird can mimic the calls of at least 20 other birds. The Australian lyre bird is said to be the best mimic on earth.
