What do you call a gift of respect to someone more accomplished than you?
Suppose you wanna buy a bottle of herbal alcohol as a gift of respect to someone much more accomplished than you are to build up positive karmic relationships.
I don’t suppose you should call it a tribute, does it?
Someone is telling me to call it a gift of goodwill.
Thank You for teaching me.

What's wrong with "gift"?
Happy Pride month to my queer dharma siblings!

Maybe it is an Apertif or Digestif?

It is an alcoholic herbal tonic brewed in Japan which is usually consumed by older asians to gives a pleasant feeling that refreshes the body and mind and which is absorb-able even by weak digestive systems in order to promote the natural activities of the body.
Do you think that Tibetan Buddhist Monks like the Dalai Lama himself would reject such an offering which is intended to improve his health just because the health tonic has an alcoholic content of 14%?

The alcohol burns the herbs, it takes away some of the virya. It also packs blood vessels with fat.

In Chinese medicine (Vietnamese, Korean, Japanese), it is believed that tincturing herbs in alcohol actually makes the medicinal effects of the herbs stronger. Chinese medicine also holds that alcohol quickens the blood and frees the flow of the vessels.

I saw Swedish Bitter and tinctures being made.
The remedy has a faster effect as the alcohol carries it to the bloodstream, so almost immediate effect, but the better one is with the whole herbs. And then the ethyl alcohol is not quite what the doctor would recommend. The doctor would look at your liver function and say: Nuh-uh, you can't have that with my meds! It's a drug-drug-interaction!
The alcohol is also depressant of the nervous system. So we would not like to see His Holiness saying that we come back another time to visit because he wants to take a nap.
My advice would be not to buy a bottle but to do a kata offering and the money also be put to good use.

Re: What do you call a gift of respect to someone more accomplished than you?
Any senior lama will probably have a physician they regularly see, and generally won't take a medicine without consulting them. So if you give it to them as a gift, I'm sure they'll accept it and say thanks, but then it will probably be handed off to someone to re-gift or otherwise dispose of. You're better off just giving them a katag and/or money.
Re: What do you call a gift of respect to someone more accomplished than you?
It is against monks vows to accept offerings of alcohol. There is a very slim chance it may be accepted to help you create merit, but someone like His Holiness almost certainly won't be drinking it. 14% is quite high, as far as I know monks avoid eating even chang-kol which is quite low in alcohol content.
