New ZealandHahei Gin is a limited-edition New Zealand craft gin inspired by the beaches, native botanicals and coastal beauty of the Coromandel Peninsula. Naturally coloured with hibiscus and infused with locally inspired ingredients, this distinctive pink gin captures the atmosphere of one of New Zealand’s most celebrated coastal destinations.
Combining floral elegance, maritime influences and vibrant citrus character, Hahei Gin offers a unique expression of place that reflects the landscapes and memories that inspired its creation.
The idea behind Hahei Gin emerged during a holiday spent with family and friends in the coastal village of Hahei.
Surrounded by flowering hibiscus, native vegetation and the breathtaking scenery of the Coromandel coastline, the founders found inspiration in the natural abundance of the region. It was here that the concept of creating gins inspired by specific locations truly began to take shape.
The resulting spirit captures both the beauty of the landscape and the emotions connected to it.
Hahei is known worldwide for its pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters and famous coastal landmarks, including Cathedral Cove and Stingray Bay.
These iconic locations helped inspire the botanical selection and overall character of the gin. The combination of native plants, coastal influences and fresh citrus notes creates a flavour profile that reflects the region’s unique environment.
The recipe combines a carefully selected range of botanicals that celebrate the natural diversity of the Coromandel Peninsula.
Key botanicals include:
Together, these ingredients create a complex yet approachable profile that balances floral sweetness, citrus freshness and subtle maritime character.
Hibiscus gives Hahei Gin its distinctive pink colour while contributing delicate floral aromas.
On the nose, the gin opens with bright floral notes supported by citrus and native botanicals. The palate reveals layers of kumquat, makrut fruit and mānuka, balanced by the gentle spice of kawakawa and the freshness of coastal ingredients.
The finish is smooth, elegant and refreshingly complex.
Several of the botanicals reflect the surrounding coastal environment, including ingredients inspired by the landscapes of Cathedral Cove and Stingray Bay.
These local influences create a strong sense of place, allowing the gin to express the unique character of one of New Zealand’s most beautiful coastal regions.
Like every Elsewhere release, Hahei Gin is produced in limited quantities with a focus on quality, authenticity and botanical expression.
The small-batch approach ensures that the character of the ingredients remains clearly visible while preserving the individuality of each release.
Hahei Gin offers more than a colourful appearance. It combines native botanicals, coastal freshness and floral elegance in a spirit that reflects the atmosphere of the Coromandel Peninsula.
From the beaches of Hahei to the waters of Cathedral Cove, every element of the recipe contributes to a genuine sense of place.
For Elsewhere, Hahei Gin represents an important chapter in the story of creating place-inspired spirits.
