23 days down and 8 to go, the Dry July finish line is near! We’ve been so inspired by the hundreds of Aussies who have decided to go Dry for the McGrath Foundation again this year and we’ve loved hearing their stories of who they were inspired by and of how they’re finding the challenge.
We’ve heard from more than a few Dry July-ers that these final few days are proving tough so we’ve asked our friends at Lyre’s for some advice on how to keep the non-alcoholic cocktails fun! Not only do Lyre’s make delicious non-alcoholic beverages, but they’re also big supporters of our mission to ensure that no one goes through breast cancer without care with 10% of all Pink London sales donated to the McGrath Foundation.
Check out some of our favourite pinked up Lyre’s recipes below!
