Launch of Sake Sling Canned Cocktails

For those looking for a new, exciting and refreshing drink for the warmer months, look to Sake Sling’s award-winning ready-to-drink cocktails. The innovative and unique canned cocktails use the distinctive flavour of iconic Japanese rice wine sake, alongside a range of natural flavourings including Yuzu & Melon and Mandarin & Cherry.

A combination of traditional Japanese flavours and an approach rooted in contemporary mixology, Sake Sling is inspired by the classic and historic Singapore Sling cocktail, first created in the Raffles Hotel in Singapore in 1915. For those unfamiliar with sake, Sake Sling provides the perfect entry point to its unique flavour, while those who are already fans will be delighted to discover the rice wine reinvented in contemporary cocktails with delicious all-natural fruit and botanical flavours, and no artificial flavours or sweeteners. Made with craft sake from the celebrated Daimon brewery in Japan, the drinks make the perfect cocktail to awaken the palate at a summer barbecue or to drink at a picnic or day in the park chilled straight from the can, or as a natural pairing for Asian dishes.

Mandarin & Cherry
In Sake Sling’s take on the classic Singapore Sling, notes of dark cherry and cherry blossom are skilfully blended with delightfully bright mandarin. The full body of the premium Daimon sake is complemented by a delicately spicy background note of sushi ginger.

Yuzu & Melon
This version of the sling is a bright, zesty and effervescent drink, with honeyed notes of musk melon balanced with yuzu, a unique citrus integral to Japanese cuisine, complementing the fruity and floral notes of premium Daimon sake with a background note of bergamot tea.

Drinkers looking to experience Sake Sling’s range can purchase the product on Amazon’s UK store with more specialist e-commerce and premium independent retailers to come on board shortly. With an ABV of 5.5% and an RRP of £3.95 per 250ml can, a Taster Pack (one of each flavour) at £7.50 and 4 packs at only £14.00, the “Summer of Sake” is surely here!
