Exhibit 99.1
LQR House Announces Acquisition of 8.58% Stake in DRNK Beverage
Corporation, Entering the $902.14 Billion Non-Alcoholic and $2.2 Trillion Ready-to-Drink Beverage Markets
MIAMI BEACH, FL / ACCESSWIRE / June 10, 2024 / LQR House Inc. (the
“Company” or “LQR House”) (NASDAQ:LQR), a niche ecommerce platform specializing in the spirits and beverage industry,
today announced the acquisition of 1,920,000 shares of DRNK Beverage Corporation at $2.50 USD per share, totaling $4.8 million USD. The
proceeds were irrevocably transferred for the sole and exclusive use of the issuer as of June 2024. This investment, which has been held
in escrow, will not impact the cash on hand numbers reported in the Company’s last filing. LQR House’s investment in DRNK
marks its strategic entry into both the non-alcoholic (NA) and ready-to-drink (RTD) beverage markets, two rapidly growing sectors within
the beverage industry.
According to a report by Fact MR, the global revenue value for the
non-alcoholic beverage market was estimated at approximately $987.3 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach a size of $1,889.42 billion
by the end of 2034, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 6.7% over the next ten years. The growing demand for health-conscious
products, accelerated by the pandemic, has shifted consumer preferences towards healthier beverages, with less sugar and natural ingredients
without added preservatives. This shift makes it an ideal time for LQR House to enter this sector through the acquisition of DRNK.
As consumers increasingly prioritize their health and wellness, there
is a growing demand for drinks that offer functional benefits such as immune support, energy enhancement, added vitamins, probiotics,
and plant-based ingredients. To meet this trend, DRNK has developed a ready-to-drink option with various nutritional advantages.
Commenting on the acquisition, Sean Dollinger, CEO of LQR House, stated,
“Investing in DRNK is a strategic move for LQR House. We have observed significant growth in these two categories on our platform
and recognize their immense value. Given the challenges of shipping canned beverages online due to margins, having this product in our
portfolio will enhance LQR House’s visibility on brick-and-mortar shelves. We are enthusiastic about collaborating with the DRNK
team, which also has an excellent distribution network for LQR products. We understand our investors’ concerns about dilution of
LQR stock, and we want to reassure them that this acquisition is entirely cash-based, avoiding any unwanted dilution. We believe this
strategic investment will elevate DRNK to new heights while preserving LQR’s financial integrity.”
LQR House believes that by acquiring this stake in DRNK, it is expanding
its portfolio into two of the most sought-after categories in the beverage industry. This move aligns with LQR House’s mission to
innovate and adapt to changing consumer demands while enhancing its market presence.

About DRNK
DRNK Beverage Corp was founded out of a desire to create alcohol-free
beverages (“mocktails”) that not only taste great but are also low in sugar. Frustrated by the lack of satisfying options in
the market, the founders set out to develop their own line of drinks that offer the same enjoyment as traditional cocktails but without
the alcohol or excessive sugars. DRNK’s handcrafted recipes stay true to the flavor profiles of their cocktail counterparts, ensuring
the same great taste without compromise. Among DRNK’s offerings are non-alcoholic versions of some of the world’s most popular cocktails,
including the Mojito and the Mule. To meet consumer demands for healthier options, DRNK’s beverages are made with all-natural ingredients,
contain no artificial preservatives, and are gluten-free and keto-friendly. DRNK is committed to providing high-quality, delicious alternatives
that cater to health-conscious consumers seeking a different kind of buzz.
