Ballyhoura, Ireland. For lovers of two-wheeled adventures, Ballyhoura is Ireland's holy grail. It's home to the biggest network of dedicated mountain biking trails in the country, with a solid mix of single tracks, hills, boardwalks and tricky technical rock gardens.
Fresh melon juice, cucumber and watermelon tonic add a vibrant flavour to the cocktail. Seedlip Garden brings bright green herbs and grasses, resulting in a crisp and refreshing non-alcoholic serve.

Thirst-quenching
Lyre's Dark Cane, spiced raisin honey, cold-brew English Breakfast tea, fresh lemon juice, smoky ginger ale.
Snowdonia, Wales. Snowdonia National Park offers it all, from mountain biking to wakeboarding, hiking to zip-lining. You can even take a relaxed train up to Mount Snowdon's summit.
This cocktail is Welsh bara brith in liquid form. The spiced raisin honey brings sweet dried-fruit notes, while the black tea adds tannin and complexity that pairs perfectly with Lyre's Dark Cane.
The Explorer Set
Three cocktails inspired by pioneering British explorers who pushed into the unknown.
Edmund Hillary, Mount Everest, 1953. Many had tried to conquer Mount Everest before Edmund Hillary, but in May 1953, Hillary and his guide Tenzing Norgay became the first men confirmed to reach the summit.
Nepalese flavours of mango and cardamom permeate the cocktail. Yoghurt adds acidity and allows the drink to turn clear once run through a coffee filter.

Maker's Mark 46, Amaro Montenegro, Cocchi Vermouth di Torino, honey, fresh lemon juice, aquafaba, Angostura bitters.
Freya Stark, the Middle East. Freya Stark was one of the leading ladies of British exploration, among the first European women to explore the Middle East, Afghanistan and Western Iran. She travelled to many areas where no Westerner had journeyed before, including the Valley of the Assassins. Stark wrote two dozen books about her travels and died in 1993, having lived to the age of 100.
Amaro Montenegro brings an abundance of Middle Eastern flavours that pair perfectly with the light complexity of Cocchi Vermouth di Torino and the spice of Maker's Mark 46.
Letters from Egypt
£9.95
Exotic
Crisp
Daiquiri
Coconut and white rum, maraschino, watermelon, fresh lime juice.
Florence Nightingale, Egypt, 1849. Florence Nightingale visited Egypt in the winter of 1849–50. A journey to the fabled land of the Arabian Nights was a fantastic adventure at that time, and Florence wrote long, picturesque letters to her family describing her visit and her views of the country, its history and its people.
A refreshing twist on a Hemingway Daiquiri. Maraschino, watermelon and coconut are a revitalising match that will transport you to the banks of the Nile.
Spring. The first forced rhubarb arrives, grown under pots in what's known as the Rhubarb Triangle. Its stalks are watermelon-pink with pale, lime-green leaves; it's the more tender and delicately flavoured of the two. The second, maincrop rhubarb, is grown outdoors and arrives in summer.
This cocktail is an ode to Jim Barnard, creator of the Rhubarb and Custard sweet in the 1960s. Rose vermouth adds berry fruit and complexity; aquafaba brings foam and texture to this adult version of a nostalgic sweet.

Berry fruit
Zesty
Spritz
Beefeater Strawberry gin, crème de pêche, St-Germain, pink grapefruit, Prosecco.
Summer. A summer staple. The British strawberry season runs from late May through September. Strawberries at peak ripeness are fruity, sweet and juicy with a little bit of acidity.
A blend of our favourite summer flavours in a light, refreshing spritz.
Autumn. Blackberries are more highly prized in western Europe than anywhere else in the world, and collected and eaten most enthusiastically of all in Britain. They are in season from late summer to autumn. What better match than blackberry and apple?
Avallen Calvados brings light, crisp apple; ruby port adds complexity and red-wine tannins; blackberries bring juicy, tart notes.
Spice Merchant Winter
£11.00
Spice
Coffee & chocolate
Sipper
Foursquare Spiced Rum, Cazcabel Coffee, crème de cacao, orange bitters.
Winter. Coffee from the Arabian peninsula, chocolate from Mesoamerica, ginger and nutmeg from Asia. All arrived on British shores almost simultaneously during the early to mid 17th century after the emergence of the British East India Company. These spices are now synonymous with the short, colder months.
We’ve folded the familiar favourites into our signature spiced Old Fashioned, with undertones of coffee and chocolate.
There & Back Again
Three cocktails rooted in home turf, from Scarborough and the Peak District to Land's End.
Scarborough. Undoubtedly the most famous ice-cream parlour in Scarborough is Harbour Bar. Opened in 1945, Harbour Bar still stands proud, serving the public with its delicious ice cream. With a multitude of flavours, it’s hard to pick a favourite.
No need to rewrite the wheel. ‘Forever Sorbetto’ has dominated the sales report at Scarborough Bike & Boot. This is a slight twist on the original, introducing sweet pineapple and thyme notes to the lemon sorbet.
Peak District. No visit to the Peaks would be complete without sampling the famous local dessert, Bakewell Pudding. This sweet treat has been enjoyed in the picturesque Peak District market town of Bakewell and beyond since its creation around 1860.
A milk clarification downplays the sweet notes of the Amaretto and Advocaat, producing an elegant and sophisticated cocktail that embodies the Bakewell Pudding.
Land’s End to John o’ Groats. One of Britain's most epic challenges: a traverse of the entire length of Great Britain. The challenge traditionally starts at Land's End. Over the 900 miles you'll pass the epic cliffs of Devon, cross impressive Lake District countryside and climb into the Highlands.
Lyre's is a range of non-alcoholic spirits, perfect for creating low-and-no cocktails. We pair a blended Scotch whisky with traditional Celtic and Cornish fruits for a delicious low-ABV highball.
