Svedka Dry Gin Modern Style
Svedka Dry Gin Modern Style is an 80-proof (40% ABV) citrus-forward gin in the New World mold — juniper deliberately dialed back, lemon peel and cardamom pushed forward, with floral notes rounding the edges. Inspired by the flavorful modern gins coming out of the US, Spain, and Japan, it is Svedka's answer for drinkers who want gin's structure without gin's austerity: smooth, approachable, and built to disappear into cocktails. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

The Anti-Austere Gin
Classic London dry gin leads with juniper and dares you to keep up; the Modern Style school — from New World craft distillers worldwide — leads with citrus and invites you in. Svedka's take is the most accessible entry point in that school: the lemon peel hits first, the cardamom adds a warm-spice whisper, and the juniper is a texture rather than a statement. Pair it with its tropical sibling, the Svedka Strawberry Pineapple, and browse the full gin collection to taste how far the category has moved from the pine forest.
Tasting Notes
Nose: lemon peel, light juniper, soft florals. Palate: smooth and citrus-led — lemon, a cardamom whisper, gentle juniper warmth. Finish: clean, bright, and easy with lingering citrus.
How to Enjoy
A natural gin and tonic or gin mule — citrus-forward gins need less garnish to shine. It also makes a forgiving gin martini for drinkers who find classic martinis too piney; keep the vermouth light and the lemon twist generous.
