August 2021 - The Secret Garden

Herbaceous and citrusy, The Secret Garden can be enjoyed two ways - with the light taste of white peaches using the Droplet Pretty Balanced, or the refreshing crisp dryness of the Dry Botanical Bubbly Cucumber. Use whatever fresh citrus juice you have on hand. A sprig of fresh rosemary is encouraged!

Smoky Rose - February 2021 Box

One of the most exciting things about the quickly growing alcohol-free beverage space is the rise in zero-proof spirits, such as Lyreโ€™s extensive offerings. Their American Malt has a spicy and mellow complexity which pairs beautifully with Portland Syrupsโ€™ sweet and floral Rose Cordial and smoky Lapsang Souchong tea. If you like a bit of fizz, you can top your drink off to taste with Aura Boraโ€™s Cactus Rose sparkling water or just enjoy it on its own!
