If you’ve ever said, “I don’t like gin,” you’re not alone. It’s a fairly common comment that we hear from seasoned drinkers and casual sippers alike. However, time and time again, something surprising happens after the first taste of Conniption… they change their minds.
Conniption Gin was created to do exactly that. Our spirits are made to challenge old assumptions, spark curiosity, and reintroduce gin to a new generation of drinkers. Whether you’re gin-hesitant or gin-curious, here’s why it might be time to have a Conniption.
Myth 1: “All gin tastes like a pine tree”
The piney flavor most people associate with gin comes from juniper, the core botanical that defines the spirit.
However, Conniption employs a modern approach to strike a balance, rather than dominance. Through our pioneering cold vacuum distillation process, we extract bright, delicate botanicals such as cucumber, citrus peel, and honeysuckle without applying harsh heat, as most gin distilleries do. This allows our botanicals to preserve their natural flavor, form, and nuance.
The result? A flavor that’s refined, complex, and refreshingly fresh. It’s still gin, but it’s gin made for the now.
Myth 2: “Gin is hard to use in cocktails”
Vodka may be a blank canvas, but gin offers character - and Conniption Gins are crafted for versatility. Whether you’re mixing for a rooftop party, brunch at home, or a quiet wind-down moment, our gins are effortless to work with.
Try American Dry in a cucumber gin and tonic. Reach for Kinship when you want your cocktail to color-shift from indigo to blush. Or dive into our full cocktail library to find seasonally inspired, easy-to-make drinks like the Purple Bee’s Knees, or a classic Martini.
You don’t need a mixology degree... You just need a great gin.
Myth 3: I’m just not a “gin person”
You might not be, yet. But that’s only because you haven’t had gin made this way.
We hear it from people all the time: “I didn’t think I liked gin, but I love this.” That’s the Conniption effect.
Our gins aren’t designed to fit the mold. They’re built to break it. From our bold, clean American Dry to the playful, color-changing Kinship, every expression is made with modern drinkers in mind.
Conniption is more than a gin. It’s a mindset shift, one pour at a time.
