Lyre's Italian Orange is the bitter orange expression in the brand's Italian aperitif sub-series, alongside the Italian Spritz variant. Founded in Melbourne in 2019, Lyre's set out to recreate classic aperitif styles through natural extracts and flavour compounds. Italian Orange is described as combining blood orange and red citrus with maraschino sweetness and a dry, lingering orange pith finish, positioning it as an alcohol-free counterpart to the bitter orange aperitifs used in classic cocktails.
