The Summer Sake Trends We’re Still Talking About

Summer 2025 brought the heat — and not just from the sun. Sake fans everywhere found new, creative, and straight-up wild ways to enjoy their cans. From frozen treats to late-night affogatos, the hacks kept coming.

Here are the trends that defined sake this summer — and why you should carry them into fall.

Sake Popsicles

Frozen spiked tea on a stick? Genius. Perfect for BBQs, beach days, or when the fridge is empty but the freezer’s full.

Matcha Slushies

Bright green, blended, and absolutely photogenic. Our matcha spiked tea became the blender’s MVP this summer.

Sake Affogato

Vanilla ice cream meets cold ginger spiked tea = dessert magic. Pro tip: serve in small cups so people come back for seconds.

Spiked Tea Snow Cones

Cooler empty? Ice shaver to the rescue. Pour a can over shaved ice and you’ve got a party saver.

Sake + Style

Not technically a drink hack, but worth mentioning: fans rocking sake charm bracelets, art collabs, ceramic cups. Proof that sake isn’t just a drink, it’s a lifestyle and fun bonding activity.

 

Summer may be over, but these trends are worth keeping around. From frozen hacks to stylish spins, sake made the season unforgettable — and the ideas don’t need to stop with Labor Day.
