With Father's Day fast approaching, many of us are struggling for gift ideas. So I've put together a list of alcohol-free drinks that I think will go down a treat with the dad in your life.
For Dads who like gin

Lyre's Dry London Spirit
The taste: Capturing the essence of a classic Dry London gin, this alc-free spirit is the perfect base for any gin mocktail, with aromas of orange blossom, lime, jasmine and juniper. Featuring distinct juniper and citrus flavours, along with earthy notes that fill the mid-palate, the finish is warm, with a hint of pepperberry and a dry finish.
What customers are saying: "Team it with a good tonic and a slice of lime and it’s close to the taste of a real G and T. A very grown up drink."
For Dads who like Rum
Sans Bar Caribbean Getaway Non-Alcoholic Dark Rum Substitute
The taste: This is an excellent dark Caribbean rum substitute that delivers authentic flavours and the exact mouthfeel of alcoholic rum. Featuring rich and smooth flavours of charred oak, smoky caramel and molasses, this non-alcoholic rum from Sans Bar is also an ideal choice for making classic rum cocktails like Dark & Stormy, Mai Tai and Sidecar.
What customers are saying: “The perfect afternoon substitute. My partner switched from rum to this drink and has never looked back.”
Lyre's Dark Cane Spirit
The taste: With the essence of a classic dark rum, this alc-free spirit features aromas of dark, salty caramel, hints of vanilla, orange and maple.
What customers are saying: "It certainly doesn't disappoint. It has a warmth, slight sweetness and spicy notes that you'd associate with drinking a rum and mixer."
For Dads who like Bourbon
Lyre's American Malt Bourbon Whiskey Non Alc
The taste: This non-alcoholic Bourbon whiskey offers a complex yet mellow finish and boasts authentic flavours of American malt without the alcohol. Savour it on its own, over ice or mix it with cola or soda to make classic whiskey cocktails in an alcohol-free way.
What customers are saying: "Very nice drop. I love whisky and have found this to be the best substitute, by far. I have tasted some others and found they had a very strong chemical smell and taste. Lyre’s is the one for me."
