Fenjiu Featured at Vancouver’s Chinese Trend Cocktail Pop-up
Discover Fenjiu: China’s Iconic Spirit Meets Vancouver Mixology
Fenjiu, or 汾酒, China’s iconic baijiu brand, is embracing Vancouver’s cocktail scene and will be featured at a cozy, two-night Chinese Trend Cocktail Pop-up at Laowai on Friday, September 19, and Saturday, September 20, hosted by mixologist Lingjie (LJ) Xue. The event will showcase innovative cocktails inspired by Chinese flavours and modern mixology.
Fenjiu is supporting the event as the exclusive baijiu partner. Guests will enjoy two cocktails crafted with Fenjiu, alongside several other cocktails from the event’s exclusive menu. In addition, a guided tasting of Silk Road Fenjiu and other Fenjiu expressions will be offered. Fenjiu was recently showcased at the Vancouver Cocktail Week Gala, where its cocktails were rated the most enjoyable among media guests, highlighting its appeal and versatility.
With over 6,000 years of heritage, Fenjiu is celebrated for its elegant, clean flavour and craftsmanship. Its inclusion in this pop-up brings a taste of authentic Chinese spirits to Vancouver’s mixology scene.
Laowai, one of Vancouver’s most acclaimed cocktail destinations since its opening in 2021, was named Canada’s Best New Bar in 2022 and has since been ranked among the top 100 bars in North America. Hidden behind a Chinatown façade, Laowai is renowned for its sophisticated design, theatrical speakeasy experience, and ambitious cocktail program, with a particular focus on Chinese spirits including baijiu.
Through this collaboration, Fenjiu gains high-profile exposure to Vancouver’s cocktail enthusiasts and media, reinforcing its position as a leading Chinese spirit for modern mixology.
