UK consumers can now savor the unique flavors of Sake Sling canned cocktails, meticulously crafted with Japanese rice wine at their core.
A fusion of centuries-old traditional sake craftsmanship from Japan’s Daimon brewery, which boasts a rich heritage spanning two centuries, and the innovative mixology expertise of the late Wayne Collins, brings forth the distinctive Sake Sling canned cocktails. These libations harmoniously meld fruity and botanical notes with the intricate umami essence inherent to sake.
The foundational element of these canned cocktails is none other than Japanese sake, a product of meticulous blending that involves polished rice, water, yeast, and koji (steamed rice infused with the Aspergillus oryzae mold). This premium sake serves as the canvas upon which an array of natural flavorings such as yuzu, melon, mandarin, and cherry are expertly layered. Notably, the craftsmanship behind Sake Sling excludes any use of artificial flavors or sweeteners, ensuring an authentic and refreshing taste.
One of the offerings, the Mandarin & Cherry canned cocktail, masterfully combines dark cherry and cherry blossom notes with the vivacity of mandarin. This ensemble is elevated by the presence of a full-bodied Daimon sake, known for its premium quality and an intriguing underlying hint of sushi ginger.
On a parallel note, the Yuzu & Melon variation interlaces the lusciousness of musk melon with the zesty essence of yuzu, a cornerstone of Japanese cuisine. This symphony of flavors is accompanied by the delicate nuance of bergamot tea, interwoven with the fruity and floral profile of premium sake.
The Sake Sling brand name draws inspiration from the iconic Singapore Sling cocktail, originating in 1915 at Singapore’s esteemed Raffles Hotel. As these expertly crafted canned cocktails grace the UK market, consumers have the opportunity to embark on a sensory journey that encapsulates both tradition and innovation.
