Tai Chi LaFrance Gin is a California-crafted gin that blends traditional Chinese herbs with classic gin botanicals, bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV).
Tai Chi Chinese Gin was created by a father-and-son team, the father bringing intuition-driven craftsmanship and the son a modern perspective, on a mission to blend China's rich history with the art of distilling. LaFrance embodies the refined French court lifestyle, exemplifying timeless elegance and sophistication, and its label portrait reads Beauty with Style.
The gin is infused with goji berries, hawthorn fruit, juniper berries and a tangerine peel twist. Expect floral notes on the nose, bright fruit through the palate and a hint of spice on the finish.
The ruby-red bottle with its portrait label makes it a striking gift.
Goji berries and hawthorn are prized in traditional Chinese herbal practice, and here they lend a gentle, tart fruitiness.
Tangerine peel adds a bright citrus lift that pairs naturally with juniper.
The East-meets-West recipe makes it a conversation piece at any gathering.
Try it in a Tom Collins with fresh lemon and a splash of soda.
A gin and tonic garnished with a few goji berries highlights its character.
It also works beautifully in a Negroni, where the fruit softens the bitterness.
The portrait label and red glass stand out on any bar cart.
Serve it well chilled to emphasize the floral notes.
It is a fun gift for gin lovers looking for something different.
