African Craft Litchi Gin 750ml
African Craft Litchi Gin is part of a proudly South African range produced by Select Beverage Company, focusing on locally inspired flavours and accessible craft distilling. Rather than leaning heavily on traditional European botanicals alone, the range highlights indigenous and widely loved African fruits - in this case, the litchi.
The gin is built on a classic botanical base, with juniper providing structure, while the litchi infusion brings a soft, aromatic sweetness. The aim is not to create a sugary spirit, but rather to capture the fruit’s natural perfume and texture within a clean, modern gin framework. It’s a style that reflects the broader South African craft movement: expressive, approachable, and rooted in local flavour identity.
Colour:
Crystal clear with a bright, polished appearance.
Nose:
Lifted and fragrant, with ripe litchi leading the aromatics. Subtle citrus and classic juniper sit underneath, with a light floral note adding softness.
Palate:
Smooth and gently rounded, showing juicy litchi upfront. The fruit character is balanced by a clean juniper backbone and a touch of citrus, preventing it from becoming overly sweet. The texture is easy and approachable.
Finish:
Soft and refreshing, with lingering fruit and a delicate botanical dryness that keeps it clean rather than cloying.
- Food Pairing : African Craft Litchi Gin works best with fresh, flavour-forward dishes where its gentle fruit profile can complement rather than dominate. It pairs well with Thai green curry or sweet chilli prawns, where the litchi softens spice and echoes the dish’s aromatic profile. It’s equally at home with summer salads featuring avocado and citrus, while sushi or poke bowls benefit from its clean finish and subtle sweetness. For a simple pairing, serve with a cheese board featuring creamy cheeses - the fruit lifts richness without overwhelming it.
