Lyre's Italian Spritz Non Alcoholic Spirit

Lyre's Italian Spritz is crafted as a non-alcoholic alternative to popular Italian bittersweet spritz aperitifs (like Aperol). It's designed with the classic Spritz cocktail in mind, aiming to capture the vibrant orange hue and signature bittersweet, citrus-forward profile ideal for mixing with a non-alcoholic prosecco alternative and soda water. It's generally sweeter and less bitter than Lyre's "Italian Orange" (their Campari alternative).

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Expect bright, appealing aromas of sweet orange (like orange marmalade or candy), rhubarb, elderflower, and hints of assorted herbs giving it a fresh, slightly sweet, and summery bouquet.
• Palate: The taste offers a distinct bittersweet balance, leaning more towards sweet citrus upfront compared to more bitter aperitifs. Flavors of sweet orange/tangerine and rhubarb are prominent, often complemented by notes of grapefruit or subtle herbal bitterness that provides structure without overwhelming the palate.
• Finish: The finish is typically refreshing and relatively dry despite the initial sweetness, leaving pleasant lingering notes of orange zest, rhubarb, and a gentle herbal complexity.
