Snow Monkey Sake Remix is a bold new entry in the ready-to-drink (RTD) market, combining the best of three rapidly growing beverage trends: sake, low-alcohol drinks, and convenient RTDs. Bubbling with a breezy 4.5% ABV and brewed from premium sake, Snow Monkey is a lighthearted, easy-sipping twist on the usual spirit-based RTDs. It hit retail coolers in a big way this summer, available not only in liquor stores but also in grocery and convenience locations.
This innovative beverage is the brainchild of Matt Bell, founder and CEO of Origami Sake, Arkansas’ first and only sake brewery. Origami Sake is also the fastest-growing sake brand made in the U.S. and recently became the only American sake brewery to win a gold medal at the Tokyo Sake Challenge 2025. Snow Monkey Sake Remix reflects the same dedication to quality and creativity with a fresh twist aimed at those who are more health-conscious.
Each 12-ounce can contains just 100 calories, with only 2 grams of sugar and 4 grams of carbs. Snow Monkey Sake Remix is vegan, gluten-free, and free of sulfites and artificial ingredients. The vibrant packaging and eye-catching design are complemented by its four unique East-meets-West flavor blends, all included in a convenient 8-can variety pack, which goes for $19.99. The flavor blends include:
- Mandarin & Grapefruit: A crisp, citrus-forward fusion of sweet mandarin and tart grapefruit, lifted by sake’s clean, umami-rich profile.
- Mango & Guava: Creamy mango meets tangy guava in a bold, juicy blend that’s tropical but not overly sweet.
- Dragon Fruit & Key Lime: Exotic dragon fruit and zesty lime are balanced with sake’s smooth texture for a refreshingly bright sip.
- Yuzu & Hibiscus: Delicate hibiscus notes and the tart complexity of yuzu are perfectly complemented by the silkiness of sake.
Beyond flavor, Snow Monkey is a brand with heart. Inspired by the cheeky charm of Japanese macaques, legendary guardians of harmony and sacred places, Snow Monkey celebrates living it up and finding joy, no matter how frosty life gets. In that spirit, Snow Monkey has partnered with Born Free USA, an animal welfare nonprofit, to support its 175-acre Primate Sanctuary in South Texas. Home to over 200 rescued monkeys, including macaques, baboons, and vervets, the sanctuary aligns beautifully with Snow Monkey’s values.
