Not Your Grandfather’s Gin: This Is What Modern Tastes Like

Not Your Grandfather’s Gin: This Is What Modern Tastes Like

Gin isn’t stuck in the past… unless you are.

At Conniption, we believe honoring tradition doesn’t necessarily mean repeating it. It means building on it, reimagining it, and distilling something new from something timeless.

This is modern American gin, crafted for a generation that values flavor, clarity, and unapologetic innovation.

Old-School Roots. New Rules.

Where old-world gins lean heavily on juniper, Conniption’s lineup is lighter, brighter, and built for versatility.

Not just because it tastes better, but because it fits better.

With how we drink now. With who we are now.

Meet the New Modern Gin Portfolio:

Conniption American Dry

Crisp, refreshing, and shockingly smooth. Juniper, orange peel, and angelica root shine with just enough lift from cucumber and honeysuckle. A modern update to the classic gin martini.

Conniption Navy Strength

114 proof. Bold, but never brash. Savory notes of bay leaf and rosemary are balanced by bright lemon and a touch of fig for smooth depth.

It’s powerful, elegant, and made to hold its own in any cocktail. This is a gin that can stand tall in a Navy Negroni, while not overpowering it.

Conniption Kinship

A color-changing showstopper with real substance. Citrus, melon, cucumber, and honeysuckle—all cold-distilled for purity and clarity, then infused with butterfly pea flower for that pink-to-indigo visual appeal.

Conniption Barrel-Aged

Bold and beautifully complex. Oak-aged with notes of spice, citrus, and caramelized botanicals.

Think gin with the swagger of whiskey—perfect in an Old Fashioned yet neat enough for a quiet night in.

What Makes It Modern?

      Cold vacuum distillation preserves delicate botanicals

      No added sugars, no artificial anything

      Award-winning flavor innovation across the full portfolio

      Crafted in Durham, NC, not copied from London

This isn’t a single product. It’s a movement.

Modern Gin, Modern Moments

      Hosting friends? Start with American Dry in a French 75.

      Feeling bold? Try Navy Strength in a White Negroni.

      Want something vibrant? Kinship, lemon, elderflower, and berries.

      Looking for depth? Barrel-Aged in a Martinez—or just over ice.

No matter the pour, it’s Conniption’s approach to flavor that unites them: elevated, expressive, and designed for how you drink.
