Reviews

No Thanks

"I purchased the bourbon and vermouth substitutes and made Manhattan's. I tried the recipe on the Lyre website and I tried the recipe I previously used. Both tasted very medicinal and I poured the both bottles out. Neither drink taste anything close to any Manhattan I've ever had."

— John W. (1/5)

One of the best I've

"One of the best I've tried out of many. Chilled on the rocks. I'll be honest with you, I also frequently mix this with a citrus THC infusion product. Makes one sensible, delicious relaxer. Cheers 🍻."

— Paul D. (4/5)

Delicious

"My step father has cancer and diabetes , so loved this non alcoholic and low sugar content alternative 🥃"

— Louise D. (5/5)

Awesome

"This drink I have found to be absolutely flavourful enjoyable with a slight tint of pepper at the back of the throat while drinking it absolutely recommend it. . ! Look forward to purchasing some more in the near future !👍🥃"

— Simon D. (5/5)

"Absolute disgusting taste. No resemblance to either malt whiskey or dark rum. Straight down the sink"

— Mr (1/5)

"Great product with just enough kick! Good on the rocks or a mocktail old fashioned. Quick arrival as well."

— Martin (5/5)

Great for manhattans

"This is really wonderful for a Manhattan. I so prefer it to Ritual's alcohol free bourbon."

— Elizabeth A. (5/5)

"Has a slight hint of smoke, oak, and vanilla. Mouth feel of straight water. When poured over ice all flavors disappear and it tastes like drinking water out of a glass that has something in it previously. Not impressed, will not purchase again."

— David (1/5)

A little something different

"I wasn’t sure how much like bourbon it was going to be. It has that kick to it that you can’t quite put your finger on, and mixes well to make an old fashioned or manhattan. I was pleasantly surprised."

— Alicia G. (5/5)

Disappointed

"I really wanted to like this, but the dominant taste is tap water. This is far too much to pay for what tastes like whiskey squash. Same cost as a cheap bourbon with alcohol but a large portion of that is government tax. Won't be coming back for more :-("

— Jarek A. (1/5)
