Sake Sling Yuzu & Melon | Ready to Drink Cocktail Multipack | 5.5% ABV | Made with Japanese Sake | Sweet & Citrusy | Sparkling Premixed Cocktails | All Natural Flavours | Award Winning 4-Pack, 250ml

I tasted this drink at a festival in the summer, loved it, so I bought a box of four for a party at home! Added some garnish and everyone absolutely loved it.

This cocktail was surprisingly good. However, it is so sweet, It almost bordered on alcopop. I think the sweetness is still in cocktail territory and not severe enough to be classified as an alcopop. With that said, I don't taste any sake at all (does it really have sake in it? what type?). I think if someone was a fan of sake, and bought this expecting a lightly flavoured sake wine drink, they'd be very disappointed by the complete lack of any sake flavour. However, ignoring the 'sake' element, I really did like the flavour of it as a cocktail generally. It tastes citrusy and melony with some nice sweetness and carbonation. The closest drink that it reminds me of is a tequila sunshine or paloma. I definitely recommend this product for a summer drink if you like sweet cocktails, but don't expect it to taste of sake

Will definitely repurchase.

I've tried this Yuzu & Melon cocktail, and it's impressive. The blend of muskmelon and yuzu creates a refreshing and unique flavor. It’s convenient straight from the can, and I love that it's all-natural and vegan. Perfect for a chilled drink with friends!

This drink seems like a nice idea as I love fruity flavours and cocktails. It does have a pleasant, fragrant melon taste, perhaps slightly artificial, however my main issue is I found the drink for too sickly sweet.Sugar is the third biggest ingredient on the list, after sparkling water and sake wine. Checking their website, there's 17g (over 4 teaspoons!) of sugar in each can.The ingredients overall aren't particularly inspiring, there's not actually any melon or yuzu in the ingredients list, just "natural flavours". I'd prefer something with some real fruit juice and no added sugar.

The packaging and box are really pretty but the product lacks flavour, I wouldn't recommend or repurchase.

Sake Sling Yuzu & Melon | Ready to Drink Cocktail Multipack | 5.5% ABV | Made with Japanese Sake | Sweet & Citrusy | Sparkling Premixed Cocktails | All Natural Flavours | Award Winning 4-Pack, 250mlI'm not really a cocktail or spirits drinker but when these became available I thought they'd be worth a try.4 x 250ml cans nicely presented in a branded boxI've actually never tried Saki before either but I have to admit these are really tasty.They're described as Yuzu & Melon flavour and although you can taste melon the main flavour is much more fruity than that and even a little bit perfumed. Quite sweet but not in a sickly way.In the UK there used to be chewy sweets you can buy (maybe they still do them?) called Floral Gums. Well this drink very much reminded me of those. So if you remember them and liked them then this cocktail is for you.It's a sparkling drink but I didn't find it overly fizzy, which was perfect for me.I had mine straight out of the fridge, poured in to a tall glass with a little ice in it. Delicious and very refreshing, dare I say a perfect Summer drink?It's not overly alcoholic, around the same strength as an upper tier lager at 5.5% ABV.This cocktail has definitely shown me there's more to life than a boring pint of lager!Would I buy these again? Yes, I think I would and I'd definitely like to try other flavours in this range from Sake Sling.

This product was sent to me to review, as part of Amazon Vine. Below is my own real-world experience of using it.Unfortunately, the pack I received was in poor condition. All of the cans appeared to have had a slow leak, which had left sticky residue all down the cans themselves and the box. One of them had lost a significant amount of the drink inside, so its flavour was compromised.Despite that, I was able to try the Sake from a less-damaged unit. I already had some ice to hand, so I poured it over for the best results. I detected citrusy notes, but they were not too tart or sour, and the alcohol content was smooth and warming at the back of the throat.In summary, a nice, refreshing cocktail. Recommended.
