Mark your calendars, because Lyre’s Non-Alcoholic is bringing a wave of mindful indulgence across the nation this July! Teaming up with more than 50 standout venues, the world’s most awarded non-alcoholic spirits brand is hosting its Cocktails for a Cause campaign in support of Dry July.
This brilliant initiative not only encourages Aussies to enjoy incredible alcohol-free cocktails but also lends vital support to the hospitality sector while raising funds for the Dry July Foundation, an organisation dedicated to helping those affected by cancer.
Whether you’re after a night out, a leisurely lunch, or a catch-up with friends, Cocktails for a Cause offers a social experience that’s vibrant, delicious, and entirely guilt-free.
Supporting a great cause, one drink at a time
Cocktails for a Cause is simple yet impactful. For every Lyre’s cocktail bought at participating venues, $1 will go straight to the Dry July Foundation, helping raise much-needed funds for their vital work. Lyre’s is also extending the generosity to retail, donating $1 from every bottle or 4-pack sold during July.
“We’re thrilled to partner with so many incredible venues to bring this initiative to life,” says Stefano Catino, co-owner of Sydney’s internationally acclaimed Maybe Sammy. “Cocktails for a Cause is a brilliant way to encourage people into venues and enjoy amazing cocktails and social experiences without alcohol. From a venue perspective, it’s crucial – encouraging people to keep showing up and supporting hospitality, even when they’re not drinking.”
Lyre’s and its partners are showing that giving back doesn’t have to mean going without. Every sip could help make a difference, reinforcing the idea that mindful drinking can go hand in hand with having fun and enjoying excellent company.
Bespoke creations to sip and savour
Lyre’s ensures you don’t have to compromise on taste or experience. Participating venues have curated bespoke non-alcoholic cocktails that stand proudly alongside their boozy cousins. Think Margaritas, Salted Coconut Daiquiris, Amaretti Sours, or perhaps a Smoked Honeycomb Old Fashioned. For sparkling fans, there’s the effervescent Yuzu Spritz and the chic Classico Grande Sparkling.
These are drinks that show creativity knows no alcoholic boundaries, offering the perfect excuse to raise a glass for Dry July.
