THIS MONTH'S ZERO-PROOF COCKTAIL KIT
Watermelon sugar
This month's feature drink is a crisp concoction that blends the cool essence of watermelon and mint with the subtle notes of citrus and roasted agave in Lyre’s Agave Blanco. Served over ice, it's the perfect sipper to keep you feeling cool, refreshed, and blissfully hydrated during those hot summer days.
This month's jam
We made a special playlist just for you! Listen to it while you're enjoying your drink of the month or whenever the vibe is right.
let's get organized before
you start pulling out the ice!
With three unique recipes this month, here's what you'll need (in addition to what's in your box) for each drink. Please note, these are optional! Don't have a shaker? Mix it up in a drinking glass with a spoon! Don't have a jigger? Use a shot glass or tablespoon measure. No fresh juice? These are just suggestions on how to get the most variation out of your box, but you can get creative on your own and experiment!
