Three Unexpectedly Easy Tiki Cocktails to Elevate Your Summer | Featuring Conniption Gin
When you think tiki, your mind probably jumps to rum. But what if we told you that the most unforgettable tiki cocktails this summer start with… gin?
At Conniption, we believe that modern American gin deserves a place at the heart of beachy, bold, and wildly fun cocktails. With our award-winning lineup, from crisp American Dry to color-changing Kinship, you’ve got the perfect base for a tiki twist that's both elevated and easy.
These are the cocktails that bring a bit of lounge-luxe to your home bar. No passport required.
Perfect for long weekends, sun-soaked hangs, or any time you want your cocktail to double as a cool-down.
Frozen Strawberry Daiquiri
It’s playful, bold, and totally unexpected. The fresh strawberries amplify Kinship’s floral and berry-forward notes, while the frozen texture makes it pure summer in a glass. And that Kinship float on top? An Instant glow-up.
A banana-on-the-beach experience, with a Conniption twist.
Simian Southside
At Conniption Bar & Lounge, we draft-serve this in a Collins glass, garnished with a dark chocolate bookmark and a fun little monkey (yes, really). But at home? Keep it simple. Pour over ice, add a splash of lime soda, and pair with your favorite piece of dark chocolate.
This cocktail is sunshine in a glass. Think: eating a fresh banana under an umbrella on a breezy shoreline. It’s playful, aromatic, and effortlessly refreshing.
A vintage-inspired gem with a tropical soul.
The Honolulu
This is elegance, tropical-style. The sugared rim gives it a festive flair, while Conniption’s American Dry adds botanical depth that balances out the juices. It's like stepping into a 1940s island supper club — from the comfort of your porch.
