Demand for spritzes surges in the summer, as their light, refreshing taste makes them a seasonal favorite for warm-weather sipping, and M&S' Lychee Sake Spritz shares a taste of something different—fermented rice wine with a lychee flavor. This carbonated cocktail with 35% sake is simply made with natural flavoring and a touch of sugar, and it's an option that stands out against some of the other classic spritzes born out of Italian wine culture.
Canned sake cocktails are on the rise as drinkers seek convenient, ready-to-drink options that offer a touch of sophistication. Sake’s smooth, subtly sweet profile and depth blend effortlessly with the slightly floral notes of lychee, and the M&S Lychee Sake Spritz offers a juicy, fizzy and refreshing experience with 6% ABV.
