5 Snoop Dogg-Inspired Cocktails That Aren’t Just Gin & Juice

During Tales of the Cocktail, spirit’s producer Diageo threw a huge end-of-week party headlined by Snoop Dogg, the face of one of its brands: Tanqueray.

While there was certainly an abundance of gin and juice on hand (obviously), there were also some epic cocktails made using some of the other brands in Diaego’s portfolio, including Smirnoff, Bulleit, Don Julio, and Johnnie Walker, some of which were inspired by the man of the hour.

We were on hand for the party (and actually got to cheers Snoop Dogg before he stepped on stage), and afterward got our hands on some of the recipes used for the night’s drinks so we could recreate the Dogg House at home.
