Lyre's Whiskey Sour

The Lyre's Whiskey Sour achieves technical excellence that outperforms both #6 and #7 in balancing acid, sugar, and spirit in a zero-proof format. Lyre's American Malt—with nine natural ingredients delivering butterscotch and toasted grain—forms the base for a cocktail requiring precise proportion: 75mL of spirit, 15mL fresh lemon juice, 5mL sugar syrup, 10mL egg white or aquafaba, and 3 dashes of bitters. Dry-shaking followed by a wet shake creates a silky foam topping a properly acidic backbone. Each serving contains fewer than 100 kcal. The bottle retails at approximately $37.99 per 700mL, making Lyre's the most globally accessible premium NA brand, appearing on menus in London, New York, Sydney, and Singapore at $14 to $18 per drink. This format is the most popular entry point for consumers exploring spirit-forward NA cocktails due to its familiarity and forgiving technique.
