Festive mocktails

Christmas has always been a time for celebrating! Celebratory drinks - like mulled and sparkling wine, rum-spiked eggnog, and cocktails filled with festive flavors - have consistently been popular choices at Christmas, but they're not always the most inclusive. As society shifts towards a growing focus on health and wellbeing, it's more important than ever to include non-alcoholic alternatives at Christmas gatherings. The good news? There are plenty of delicious and creative festive mocktails just as exciting and full of cheer as their alcoholic counterparts, and if you’re after something quick and ready-to-serve, Lyre’s award-winning Classico takes the pressure off; just pop and serve!
